I think it has to do with the fact that the people making the comments don't have enough seat time in a 930. I find that I have to drive a regular 911 really hard to come even close to what loafing around in a 930 is like. Even at light throttle openings and minimal boost a 930 makes so much more torque in the midrange it's not even close. Hop from a 930 into an SC or Carerra 3.2 and they seem pretty gutless.
Another point is that a 930 isn't much more expensive to own than a 911. It takes longer to do a valve adjusment but it's not like you do those every month. The brakes are more expensive to replace but they last a long, long time. A typical 930 that sees just weekend use won't break the bank.
