Is the ABS calibration going to be a big issue in competition? I guess when wet, but will you trigger it with sticky tires on the dry?
My 987.1 Cayman occasionally got confused by bumps when braking and could lengthen the braking distance. There was a particular off-ramp that did it. Never felt it on the 997, which had much better brake feel nor on any 981 (GT4 or Boxster S).
A quick read of your thoughts, I focus on the "emotion" words. E.g. miserable... That means you should make a jump. You've also pretty much written out what you want: the SS 1LE. They are expensive for the same reason that you didn't lose any seeming money. Bite the bullet and buy the best one you can. Don't go from a car that you owned from brand new to a high mileage one.
