FWIW I hugely regret having done this recall to my 981 S, mainly since it affected performance on the track (if using PDK), and I feel that's what Sport+ was designed for. Folks may tell you that with full-open throttle there's no difference between pre- and post-recall shifting, but on the track as you come out of turns you'd gradually get on the throttle and, with this recall, a lot of times PDK will upshift way too early, leaving you in third or fourth gear... 
Personally I would not recommend doing this recall at all, if for no other reason than there's no going back. If you really want the post-recall behavior, a simple tune (like what COBB offers off the shelf) will give you that, and you can always uninstall it!

If the only change is affecting the automatic behavior on the track and everything else will go back to before, than I am good with it. I don't plan to track the car (even though it is super tempting!!). I also I think most of people are going in manual mode on the track so don't see a big problem with that. I am about to get the door insert fixed, so didn't have the chance to drive it much and find out more about the post recall behavior. But I hope things get back to where they were before the recall was performed in normal and sports mode.

..and this was in addition to the other checks I got about 6 months ago for being a part of the effected "class"

I didn't get my $250 because I believed the people who said it was a bad idea to get the recall performed. By the time I realized otherwise, it was too late.
