Maybe a 997 as soon as my SC and a 997 are in the same price range. A year maybe?

Styling is obviously subjective, just look at some pictures. I don't personally find the 996 interior to be offensive, but the 997 has a nicer look and is more consistent with past 911 styling. I actually find the 996 interior to wear better than the 997, which uses a bunch of "soft touch" finish throughout. The soft touch scratches easily, very rarely do I have a 997 that doesn't require some interior parts replacement.
