As much as we enjoy the seat time driving our Porsche, I find that I spend almost as much quality time just admiring the lines of our 964/993 while it is parked.
For that reason I would suggest you get a 993 as you stated .......
"My preference is the styling of the 993."
To me the biggest difference is the front of the two cars and which headlight style you prefer.
I tried to locate photo of a 993 that is similar to my 964 in terms of the wide body look to show the difference between the two models.
993
My 964
To that end there is no right answer only personal preference.
Of course that particular 993 is worth MUCH MUCH more $$$$$ than my 964.
