GTS vs TTS

I have a Panamera Turbo and have been considering getting a 991 turbo as a weekend/special car.
Would it scratch the itch or do I need to look elsewhere? Would having a panamera turbo and a 911 turbo be duplicative?

The only downside to the 991.1 TTS is that the shift pattern on the PDK is backwards for unshifting and downshifting.

I currently own a 997 manual TT and have a slot for a 992 GT3(eventually the kids will grow up and get their own cars). I love the NA sound and linear power but have always felt the non GT cars lack a little power. I am looking to purchase a 991 for daily driving and really use the back seats to transport the kiddos. My perfect car would be a GT3 with backseats. Of course that’s never going to happen and I don’t think there’s a way to retrofit. In lieu of that happening I’m looking at the next best thing.
991.1 GTS. Pros = great sound, availability of switchable exhaust, slightly cheaper, last NA, manual trans option
Cons = mostly an option package, not as legendary as the TT, lack of torque
991.1 TTS Pros = Flagship car, Power, AWD, Luxurious
Cons = noise, weight
I have a Z06/Z07 that I track so this would just see street duty. I drive a lot for work and would enjoy having something that’s a great daily. I also have a truck for snow days.
I have some of each

I have a 991.2 GT3 MT. And you’re right, it’s nowhere near as drivable as the Carreras. I find myself choosing my Carrera T most of the time when going on a drive.

Thanks for the great replies. It’s clear that a guy needs both a NA and Turbo 911 as well as one PDK and a manual. My wife would be less than thrilled about this conclusion.
