I just traded my '15 TTS for an '11 Turbo 6sp. My biggest complaint about PDK is not a PDK vs. manual thing - it's PDK vs. PDK. As newer versions are introduced with updated software programming and/or hardware, the prior versions become somewhat dated and less desirable. Also, I was constantly envious that the TTS never got the PDK-S. Personally, I would have much preferred that and the disappointment there wore on me.
With the 6pd mt, I can say for sure having owned a 991.1 GTS with 7sp mt, that the 7sp is not better or more desirable. Just the opposite, at least for me.

Love my 991.2 TT. All are great cars.

I think with Cobb's most recent PDK tune, it is supposed to be very PDK-S like. It is software only and doesn't include some of the hardware differences from the GT cars. So the standard hardware will take on the more aggressive tune. But these transmissions are ridiculously robust and if they can withstand unending launches, they can probably take a shifting tune.My understanding is they are also working on programming to "fix"' the backwards shifting directions using the stick on the .1 TTS.

Not at all, they are both amazing cars and didn't intend to imply that I was trying to convince you otherwise. I think you made a beautiful choice and congrats, I think you'll be blown away by it. My transmission comments were really just general criticisms in response to some of the other discussion points in the thread. Ultimately, the transmissions are not why I moved on. The key reasons why I bought the TTS did not pan out so I ended up wanting something else and really enjoyed the 997 platform. A nicely spec'd one popped up locally. I thought about going back to a .1 GTS again but the prices shot way up from when I originally bought mine and wasn't excited about paying so much more knowing the deal I previously got.
