Of the 3 the Z4 coupe would be it for me, I don't care for the Z4 but w/the hard top it looks nice.

I'm 6'3" and felt the Boxter was just as tight as the S, there was no way I thought the $$ difference was worth it. His car has been at the shop at least 4 times in the 2 years I've had mine (none for me), just small stuff, like leaking coolant inside the trunk, check engine light that comes and goes, retractable top sometimes deosn't want to retract on 1st try, dash lights that flicker sometimes and oil changes, it's pretty tough to do one yourself on a Boxter. Granted his is an '03 w/about 35k miles so I'm sure you won't encounter any issues for at least a year 
I do like the BS, just not as well as the S2000, now if it were a Cayman S, I'd be all over that, in fact the price difference isn't that much between a Cayman S and a Boxter S, maybe $10k, I would definately let the Honda go for a CS. Have you checked out one of those yet??
Convertables are over rated anyway......

As far as I know the Cayman is a Boxster with a lid. same engine, chassis, same everything.

Cayman S is more expensive bro. Expensive = Better
i forgot where i read it up (probably wikipedia) but the boxster is the entry level porche, and the Cayman is supposed to be the successor of the "Sports Car Level" Porche, which contained the likes of the 944 Turbo
