Just how bad is PASM

When I kept my 997 GT2 as a pure track car everyone’s recommendation was to ditch the PASM - I went for Nitrons R3 which was great.
I now drive the car much more on the road and do local track days but for a weekend drive the Nitrons are just too tough. Would I notice a big downgrade going back to the PASMs? I also presume I would need to go back to factory geo settings?

If you have higher spring rates than stock on your car, you may be stuck with the aftermarket dampers, or trying to make a DSC controller work.
I've seen some aftermarket Bilstein "damptronic" shocks for 997, again, not sure about GT2 fitment.
I think most of this stuff is in the noise for the majority of drivers anyway. My aircooled 911 is on cheap Koni shocks, and is still in contention for fastest time of the day at my local autocrosses.
