Maybe I did not look or click carefully, but when configured similarly, I was disappointed to see the price difference was only about 4-5k.

Sure, the power top is great and 5k is no small amount. But you do miss out on a much nicer front end, GT-tuned suspension, more power, higher redline, and a bunch of other bits. Also, the Spyder is bound to hold up better on resale.

Perhaps this just means that they priced it right.

A good GTS 4.0 review that references the Spyder:

Does the Spyder still use that dumb top? That remains a deal-breaker for me, since the ease of the top is one of the nicest things about the Boxster for daily use.
