PCCB or Steel on your 991 GT3?

i'll be going for a pccb car once my 458 sells. The 458 ccb's can be noisy sometimes and they take a little while to heat up.
On the GT3:
1) I think they look better. the blue/silver/white/black combo with a yellow caliper looks better than red imo. For a red car a yellow caliper would be the worst choice (mcdonalds anyone?)
2) the discs are an inch larger up front, filling out the wheel better
3) no brake dust... less wheel cleaning
4) reduction in unsprung mass by 30+ pounds
If I were tracking i'd go steel. but since its a street car that i'll only be keeping 3-5 years max... I might as well just go with pccb. the cost is a wash to me since you'll make the money back on resale.

Apologies for being confused, I'm not even sure if Porsche OEM pads are a different material between Yellow and Red caliper GT3s, but on brakes I default to the manufacturers recommendations.
Keep in mind the RB ad does say

I've never ordered PCCB's on any of my P-cars, I really don't see the need. The Porsche standard brakes are beyond adequate for street use.
If I go ahead with the purchase of a 2014 GT3 it will have standard brakes, the PCCB's are a $10500 option in Canada and not worth the price IMHO.

The choice is yours:
Replacement rotors only (Retain stock caliper and pad)
https://www.racingbrake.com/product-p/por-crk-07.htm
Complete CCB system (Same rotors as above w/RB caliper and standard FMSI pads)

Just a note about track wear on PCCB's. I have completed two summers of tracking 20+ days on the track and I am still on the original pads. And nowhere near needing replacement. I am not a slow driver, but I do think I am easier on brakes than some are. It is hard to think I am killing the rotors when I am not even going through the pads quickly. On my turbo with the same number of track events it was new rotors yearly (sometimes twice on the rears due to traction control) and pads twice a year. I would not trade my ceramics for steel.
