Yeah if I wanted a 6MT C2 a 997.1 would be very tempting.
997.2s go really quickly here. A nicely optioned 997.2 C4S (black, PDK, PSE, full leather) was gone within a day of being listed Monday for $55K w/44K miles. Was gonna go test drive it too. Damn.

I paid $48K (+tax/license) w/CPO for moderately optioned base Carrera Oct of last year. 40,593 miles one owner car.
About every 2 weeks drive a friend's '86 Carrera (she's back East for a few months). Massive difference. The only thing I like about the '86 is knowing where the front tires are (due to the headlights being so prominent).
I thought my 996.2 was a big improvement over my 911SC (other than the IMS failure I experienced
), but the 997.2 (even if it a base model) is another step up.
I really don't think you can go wrong with a 997
