Both cars are amazing, and very different in feel from eachother. I haven't driven a GT4, but I have been in a Cayman S and the size difference alone is very noticeable. The GT350 is a big car. It shrinks around you as you drive, but is still much larger and heavier than the GT4. i like that with the GT350 I can fit my kids in the car and it has a very large trunk, and I like that it feels smaller as you go faster, but the GT4 will feel smaller still. Of course some people will prefer that and others may not.
I personally love the idea of a GT4, but not thrilled with the front suspension tower issue or the excessively tall gearing on the stick shift version. Nor the high price. But, they don't drop much in value so you may not lose a ton if you get one new. And then there's always the used route, where the buy-in is still expensive but the value is even more stable.
I personally would almost rather go even smaller and lighter (and cheaper), and get a Miata to go along with the GT350. The Miata will be a car you can wring out on a country road while staying at a relatively sane speed. Or an Ariel Atom, but that really becomes a toy.
