Horses for courses of course, but I have driven a couple of Boxster S's, and I have found them to be a very very good car.
Without a doubt, you will miss that 'Turbo' acceleration, but frankly it is a significantly better car than most people (typically those that have never driven one) seem to give it credit for.
Not to be underestimated - I would observe that the car is extremely highly regarded by those that have driven it against other cars (ie Car journalists), and less well by those that are used to the run of the mill jap 4x4 stuff.
Drive one, and make your own mind up - but their lap times around the ring are respectable.
