My 991 is significantly quicker than my 997 S. I don't believe it to be underpowered. (especially on UK roads) It likes to play above 4500 rpm but is comfortable enough below that. That said, I'd quite like a 350bhp Boxster to supplement my 991.

But I don't think you would say no to 50hp more if that was the base 991.... Or would you?

I almost bought a Carrera S - but after 48 hour test drive and driving them back to back - saved a tidy sum after realising that the difference was not significant enough for me to worry. With 997 it wasn't all about the power differential - the options made the decision for you. With 991 in the UK I personally don't think it makes sense to go for the S. (at least for 2WD)
