I only driven the Spyder RS for about 20mins in one PAG's example when they brough it for Rennsport, but the overall driving experience is very different from the Speedster. I rate the Spyder RS extremely highly. The calibrations in the Spyder RS is pretty spot on perfect compared to the GT4RS, whereas the 4RS suspension is just too firm for the canyons, the suspension in the Spyder RS is almost perfect.
The Speedster is more of a cruiser, think of it as a GTS Cab Plus. In stock form, the engine sounds a bit boring and muted. The Speedster is probably the only car that I would set the suspension setting in the Sport setting on the canyons because the suspension is so soft that it would bottom out in places where my 911R or other RS cars wouldn't have any problems with. The 991 Speedster is the best iteration of all the Speedster generations, because this was the first time that the motorsport department got involved in the development of the car. Still a little bit too refined and too soft for my taste, but best attempt so far.
I just love the Speedster shape, it's so unique in the 911 world.

Really looking forward to my incoming Spyder RS this summer.

I was considering purchasing a Speedster and ended up buying a 911R after owning a 991.2 GT3 manual and a 991.1 GT3 before that. The comments here are spot on, well done.
