987.2 S is usually at a different price point than the E9X M3 and much more difficult to find on the used market. 987.1 CS is more inline with the M3's pricepoint. I own both, they each excel in different ways. I wouldn't consider the Cayman S a replacement for the M. Maybe 997... but the standard 3.6 and 3.8 engines in the Carrera just are not up to spec with the S65.
My vote goes to Z4M Coupe.
