Like another person said, the cayman S is to the point where it is so good you cant fault it for anything. And the new gen has even improved upon what it a masterpiece of a car.
That's exactly what turned me towards the Z4MR vs the Boxster S. The Z4MR takes a lot more concentration and skill to drive well (always challenges me to improve my skills) and always has a hooligan edge to it that makes it so much fun. The Boxster S was somewhat clinical to me, too much finesse with less challenge than the Z4MR, too easy to drive well. It depends what you like.

The Z4MR demands respect when pushing it hard (as I found out when I was a little late braking and spun it at over 140km/h on the track last year). The way that it can be subtly adjusted into a corner with slight trail braking that then makes it absolutely neutral in handling, or the way that the ///M diff just grips and causes the back axle to squirm gently under your backside under hard acceleration, add to it's quirks and charm.
