Went from 986 2.5 (non S) to 997S Cab. I was going to say I didn't even think twice, but I did.

After thinking twice I decided it was a good investment in ownership satisfaction for the $10k. You get 30HP and more torque; better and redder brakes, bigger wheels/tires, bi-xenon, PASM, etc. etc. And I'm not the least bit sorry.

My wife thinks I'm nuts, but then again, she picked out this tiny bit of compressed carbon for her finger which is bigger than the older and tinier bit of compressed carbon she used to wear and finds great satisfaction there, so we have a good working relationship on this issue.

Only you can decide ... it's not about calculating $330 / HP and saying it's a good deal.
