Obviously very different experiences. My personal take is that the 850 is a multipurpose machine, while the 911 is very narrow focus. That's both good and bad, but if I had to have only one, I'd take the 850. I've had both an E28 M5 and a Carrera, and regret selling the M5. I'm glad to have the Carrera, don't get me wrong, it has a purity that nothing else does, but the E28 was soooo good at so many things. I suspect your sorted 850 is as well, if a little heavy.

Another thing to consider is that you'd be buying as 930 prices have gone somewhat ballistic, and that may or not last. Not sure how money factors, but it must to some degree if you're not keeping the 850.

If you just need a new canvas for mods, well, different story.
