Aesthetics and creature comforts are a moot point. For me it is a tool. With that being said, which is the best tool? The 86 w/ sc and flex or a Cayman.

There is probably a reasonable, objective argument that the new Cayman has a worse sound than the old, but that doesn't seem to be the OP's focus for this thread.
I doubt a newer or even newish/used Cayman is on the list. Sounds like the OP is in the market for a used 987 base or s, or maybe a base 981, but most of those seem to be in the low to mid 30's, and the S models are $40k+, so if we are talking first gen Cayman then a base model wouldn't be much competition to an 86 on E85 and the S wouldn't fair much better. Both would have less power and weigh more.
