Buying a used sports car - Mazda MX5 or Porsche Boxster?

I’m looking for a fun weekend sports car that will only do a few thousand miles a year and not be used over the winter months. I have narrowed my choices down to a nearly new Mazda MX5 Sport for £20K or a year old Porsche Boxster for £40K. In your opinion is the Boxster worth it at twice the cost of the Mazda?

They're both fun drives. But, of course, a six-cylinder Boxster is a quicker, purer drive. Unfortunately Boxsters don't take well to sitting doing nothing. Best to keep in a heated garage.

All-new Boxster is lighter and more economical. Returns a claimed 36mpg. Good looking redesigned interior. Even better to drive than before.
Excellent handling makes it fun to drive. 1.5-litre model works very well on uneven UK roads. 2.0 as quick as many drivers would ever want. Well-equipped for the money.
