My thought is if you want more dynamic handling, keep the 718. If you want more straight line power, get the 991 2.

The Carrera T is priced $16,700 less than original MSRP and the offer on my 718 is about $16,500 less than I paid. The Carrera I am looking at has rear axle steering and the 7 speed manual among other options. I would hope the driving dynamics are as satisfying as the 718.

I’m a little confused. Thought you already test drove the T. It sounds like you have easy access to both cars so the obvious answer is try them side by side and see if you like the T as much. Personally, I would NEVER go for the lightweight glass because I want a rear window defroster...yes, I drive my car in the rain and fog. Oops just added back much of my weight savings..LOL. ( sorry, it was just too easy to make fun)
Get the T. If you already have it local, your price and the options you want sounds like an easy decision. I would have to buy new to get what I want. It’s tough for me to find my options used/CPO and I’m getting too old and picky to settle for something else. In the end a used car is missing $8k of options I want and has $8k of options I don’t care about. I miss the old days before I spent too much time on the configurator.

There's the sound preference too, but I grew up on turbo 4-bangers, so I have no issues with the way the 718 sounds.A little other bit of consideration is that you have to get use to the fatter rear of the 991.2 GTS, especially in auto-x. Might take a little bit of adjustment to not knock over cones until you get use to the wider rear.
