Curious to hear from those of you that have tried each of these, how do they compare?

Only "performance upgrade" on 7.1-3rs vs 7.2-3 is LWFW. 7.2-3 is better performance-wise in every other category. However, all of the 997 cars continue to be less about performance and more about emotional response. For back-road emotion, I'll take the 3.6+lwfw+ slightly more lively rear end + one of either pumpkin/frog colors. The 7.2gt3 is the least raw, most dd-like experience of any of the 997-3/3rs imo. On the track, upgrade to LWFW, and 7.2gt3 is better than 7.1-3rs in every way.
