Default R8 Performance or 992 Turbo S

Just wondering which car you guys would pick, in a bit of a pickle in which car to pick myself. Been debating for a long time, would you rather have one of the last NA V10’s of an R8 Performance or the brand new fastest twin turbo flat 6 with the Turbo S pedigree. I hope to keep the car indefinitely, and want to custom order it. Which car do you guys think will fair better in the long run assuming I wait for the 2nd mode year (2022-2023) Turbo S. Would you take efficiency and speed or drama and over all supercar feel. Also, I feel there is something special about having the last model before they change to no longer having a NA engine on the R8. Thanks so much, just trying to get some second opinions. Both cars will be coupes, I plan to order the Turbo S with the aero/sport design kit if that changes anything. I currently have a manual 991.1 Carrera S.

It's basically a Carrera 4, come on.

I second keeping the 991.1 and picking up the R8. 992 turbo S is nice...but there is something to be said about the last of the NA v10 on the R8 where as the 992.2 will be the "next 911" with the same/similar motor.
