Well, 30,000 grand is a lot for me and that is why I am trying to get advice. Yes, I have have had 3 different threads because each time I have gotten seriously closer to pulling the trigger. Unfortunately, my wife who is my sounding board other then this forum, says no. She loves my car and see no sense in the upgrade...

If your wife gave you an emphatic NO then move on and stay in the 2016. Not worth creating home strife over a car. If she is trying to help by telling you your '16 is fine and your still on the fence the answer won't come from this forum.
Drive them both which I'm sure you have or hope you have. Due to the NA and Turbo differences the cars do behave very differently. One of them must have spoken to you after driving. If the '18 didn't awaken in you some desire for the added push the turbos give and they seem the same then your answer is, not the time to change. If the '18 really opened up some real difference in driving characteristics then you know the decision.
If you are truly on the fence then stay where you are, if you want us to push you off, sorry that's not going to happen.
I had a 991.1 C4S which I loved and had transformed into the perfect car for me. I was ready to make a few more investments when I decided to drive my current TTS before any additional investment in the 4S. When I did I knew the TTS was going to be my next car and it was in my garage in less than a week.
You know what you want to do so stop looking here for reasons to justify. We can tell you about the differences in the 2 cars but only you know which one checks all the boxes.

My wife and I laughed hard at this one and I totally agree. Your heart says yes but your wallet (and wife) say no. I would love to upgrade my base 991.2 to a GTS but the ROI is not there and I just couldn't justify it.

Plus, it's not like having to drive a 2016 911 is a hardship...

Hello all, my question is if it is worth spending 30,000 grand on a mint 2018 GTS, 11,000 miles, while trading in my 2016 fantastic GTS with 20,ooo miles. I have posted 2 other threads, but I am thoroughly confused! There is so much give and take and not sure it is worth the extra cash. Faster car with the 2018 vs the 2016 NA aspirated exhaust. The cars are similarly built, so please all in this forum, throw your opinions in, before I make a mistake either way. Thank you!

You haven’t given enough information. At least not in this thread. What is the MSRP of your car and what is the MSRP of the new one? What are the specs? And what is the purchase price and the trade on price? $30k might be a good deal or it might terrible. We have no way of knowing.
And I know you’ve already gotten crap about it, but if you start a thread and don’t get an answer, starting another won’t help. Bump the original with more information or thoughts. Or figure out why no one is responding.
