I came from a supercharged 650 hp M3 to a stock 400 hp 991S, and the difference was quite substantial. But the overall feel and the emotions you experience driving a 911 can't be beat.

But... I wouldn't move from an M3 to a base Carrera, I'd wait until you can swing the 'S' version.
Sage advice as usual, appreciate the input. Although I'm looking for the total package, and not just fastest or most powerful car, I don't want to be disappointed with the power either. I figured as much since base 991 doesn't appear to be anywhere as popular as the c2s, especially among this crowd. I wish I liked the new cayman s little more, but something about the 991 just appeals to so much more than 911s in the past ever did.
