So that leaves the "purist" aspect, though at some point, being a purist who drives an low tech, inefficient car compared to readily available newer models, has to at some point get old hat.

I have to admit that I see where you are coming from on that. But I wouldn't want to REPLACE my '87 with the 996 as a weekend car, nor would I want to use the '87 as a daily driver. Horses for courses and all that.
Incidentally, I would have loved to get a Cayman or Boxster S except I needed some rear seat space. Instead I'm trying to convince my girlfriend to change her SLK.
