I have both, for the same reason.
The Cayman S is a ridiculously fun track car, and I plan to keep it for a long time. Get a SpeedArt or FVD exhaust - you'll love the sound. You can also do an ECU tune and the throttle will never feel lazy again. Track it and you'll want to keep it!
However, something about not being able to see or really work on the engine left a bit of a void after 18 months of Cayman S ownership. I got a 1986 3.2 to fill that void, and it puts a smile on my face whenever I cruise home with the windows down and the sunroof open. The car is way too fragile/old to track without first doing an engine and tranny rebuild, plus I don't want to modify a pretty nice stock setup. I'll probably fix it up stock instead.
I definitely understand that P cars have gotten very refined and luxurious (as well as high performance!). However, I wouldn't want to drive the 911 in heavy traffic, rain, or areas with high accident potential. The Cayman S is a lot safer and more surefooted. Get a cheap 911 and keep the Cayman S.
