Sorry wasn't clear: by "basically the same" I've specifically meant the looks

Whether they are "mostly same" or "this is a heavy and low quality ripoff" depends on the reader's pocket, skill and performance goals, hence "consider". Not everyone can afford a second set of TC105X's or forged wheels just to put them on for half a day just a few times per year 🙂

As for BRZ vs Cayman, I had an opportunity to rent and drive both back to back on the same track, and with moderate mods their BRZ was way more fun than a 718 Cayman S (stock + track pads). Cayman was more refined and surely faster on the lap timer, but I was surprised to learn / confirm than a BRZ is more rewarding to drive, for less money. Tracking them both was a great idea, now it will be much easier for me to justify investing money into more track days and consumables rather than saving for a fancier car 😅
