The CIS (SC 78-83) baffles me...I'm more comfortable with the motronic of the Carreras (84-89).
I have driven a relatively few SC's (maybe 4-5) and Carreras (5-6) and they just drive a bit differently even looking past the 915 transmission. SC's seem more rev happy and Carreras seem more torque-y. In stock form the Carrera will outrun an SC but just barely. I like the motronic because of tuning with a SW chip...although there is some hop up ability with the SC's not available in the Carrera.
If comfortable with SC's CIS injection I think you could find an equivalent car to a later model a bit less than a carrera...but not a whole lot of difference...maybe $2-3K difference at best.
Either one is an excelelnt first 911....provided they have been maintained. And don'y be afraid of a high mileage car (!30K+ miles) if it has been maintained by an enthusiast.
Whatever you do, don't get in a hurry...there are a number of nice cars out there at very reasonable prices in this economy.
