I jumped into a 2014 Boxster 6 months ago from a 370Z w/ sprt package. I do miss the Z in many ways, but a Porsche is just something else. Although, I didn't get the S the base is pretty quick but you gotta get past 5k to feel the power. It took some getting used to, so I would recommend the S if you can afford it. Obviously, you're going to get biased opinions here so you should definitely do an extended test drive with both cars to feel it for yourself. Make sure to take them on some twisty roads. Both cars will be pretty reliable but if something should go wrong with the Cayman, it won't be cheap. But if you ask me, save a little more money and go with the 981.
