991.2 3RS is exciting in every way.

And that statement makes no sense. The engine is every bit as strong and the short gearing in the PDK...how is the 3rs "more exciting?" Convertible and music boxes. Unless you're just excited to be in a 3rs.
Okay, I rewatched the Farrah review...it's solid.

I will seriously consider finding a set of those 2 ways for my SRS. I’d like to sit lower and be lighter, yet not do LWB as my back can’t handle LWB.

All these ‘little’ compromises (no manual, no heated 2ways, no heated steering wheel, no auto top, and the not so little $100k+ premium) vs BGTS 4.0 add up quickly, putting enormous pressure on the SRS’s GT3 4.0 engine to compensate. You can get heated AND ventilated 2ways in the BGTS if you want the full spoils.

8lbs is nothing. Heated 2ways are THE seats for a backroads roadster.

Yeah, because every classic car before us has had heated steering wheels, heated seats and an auto top.... honestly, imagine cross shopping an SRS with a Boxster

Spyder is a Boxster. You’re shopping for the perfect backroads roadster.

Ya don't say... my point was an SRS is not a Boxster. Ones a hairdressers car, the other is a roofless/wingless version of the most potent mid engined street car Porsche has ever built - the GT4RS.

Nothing wrong with hairdressers, they’re cool people. Many of them would pick a PDK SRS over a manual Boxster.
