I don't think there are any actual hardware differences between the Cayman and Boxster engines. I believe it is just an ECU change, making the difference between the two much less than a Nismo 370 and a Sport 370. I know for a fact that no one has chosen one or the other based off that 10hp..
But I agree, soft tops ruin the look of any car I've seen, but they are just suchhhhh a joy to drive. I really do think they have the best roadster for under 60K. But is the cayman the best coupe under 60Kish? I don't know..
Oh but the Z4 do have hard tops convertibles.
The only Porsches I would get are Cayenne GTS; 911 S, GT3, GTS; or a used Boxster Spyder with all the delete options (AC, small battery, radio, so on). Just my 2¢
