Having owned multiple 996 and 997, the 997.1 drives like a 996.2, because it basically is. You can argue styling all day long because it's 100% subjective, but from a performance standpoint the 997 doesn't offer any significant advantages. This obviously doesn't apply to the more limited edition models which offer more power and are more expensive.
From a pure driving standpoint between a base 996 and 997 I will take a 1999 996.1. Cable throttle, lightweight, rev-happy 3.4, it's the most raw of the bunch.
