I agree, I like them both, which is great as I can change them around as I feel like it. Somebody at work just mentioned he was selling them and the deal was done, pretty much for the cost of just the tyres, so I am happy.
Yes, new to the club. I've owned my Cayman for 2 years now and love it. My first Porsche after a long line of hot hatches. I thought I'd keep it a couple of years and have a hankering for a 911, but I can honestly say I've got no intention of changing it. I'm lucky that its a bit of a garage queen and weekend toy so it feels special each time I drive it. But when I drive it it gets driven properly!. I think if it gets changed for anything it'll be for a GT4 maybe. I'm Brighton based, so a little way from you!, but I fully intend to get to some events next year.

Have a look at comments former Cayman owners, who now have 911's, make about their Caymans! "Regrets, I have a few...tra la"
Yours looks like an 'S'? As you may see, I have a GTS and I have had the GT4 debate with myself a few times. I decided that unless I was going to do more track days, I was quite happy as I am. You'd need to get comments from GT4 owners about pure road use vs an S / GTS.
The GT4 is more hardcore/raw/direct/uncompromising etc etc. On the road the performance difference is unimportant as they're both more than fast enough. As a huge motorsport fan and ex-motorcyclist I swapped as I wanted that more raw feeling in a car rather than the softer more luxurious feeling I got from my GTS on the road. As it turns out I've started doing track days too now where the GT4 is obviously in its element.
So whether the change would suit you will depend what you want from your car....

Yes, mines an S and I was lucky to find one with most options ticked. I have had exactly the same thoughts about the GT4. I want one because of what it is and how it looks. I will probably only do one track day a year, if that, and most of the time its just road use. My 'S' is PDK, and I know some will say manual is the only way forward, but I have really gelled with the PDK, especially teamed up with the PSE, its just incredible, so I'm not sure for day to day driving that I want a manual again. And then there is the jump in price - double, for the same age car. I struggle justifying that one. I have also toyed with a new GTS PDK.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Money no object then a 718 GT4 PDK would be on the drive. I have a wife, kids and a house, so money is an object
