On this particular matter, 987's vs 981's, it's actually hard for me to get myself to click on a comparison video, as much as I like content of that sort.

From 2006 to 2013, I had 987's and from 2016 to 2021 I've had 981's. Each purchase was after many test drives. I owned a 987.1S from new for 5 years and 35k miles. I owned a 987.2S, test drove a number of 987.1 and 987.2's, with PASM, without, etc. Test drove multiple (six?) R's. Then I drove 981 base, S and GTS cars (the GTS at least twice) both in cayman and boxster form. They were new in lots in 2016 when I was shopping. Owned a 981S now coming up on 5 years and owned a GT4 for a few months.

A significant portion of my life seems to have been dedicated to getting the just right 987 and 981. Throughout this, there was an almost year ownership of 997.2 and many 991.1 drives.
