Audi Q5 or Macan would be a better comparison.
Problem with Porsche is similar to Rolex. If you want a Submariner, no amount of Black Bays or Pelagos will do. You'll still want the Rolex.
If you want a 911, and get a Boxter, Cayman or even a Macan, every time you see a 911 you'll wish you were driving that instead.
Personally I think the current Carrera is one of the best looking cars on the road and the one to get, if you can.
