If you don't need 4 seats and don't care as much about straight line speed, I'd keep the Cayman S if I had to get rid of one of my cars.
I mainly daily drive the Cayman, the M3 is mostly my wife's, but we switch out often. The Cayman with PDK is fine as a DD, maybe better than the M3 just because of the range.
New Cayman S is getting 0-60 times of 4.4 with PDK Sport Chrono and that seems pretty competitive. I will grant you that the upcoming M4 will likely be faster.
