I'd choose the 997 in a heartbeat over the 991. The new platform is more accomplished (in terms of performance numbers) but it drives much larger (in terms of driving dynamics) than its predecessor. The 997 is tossable, but the 991 GTS feels more planted and deliberate in its moves. The 997 is more engaging, while the 991 is more comfortable.

I shared the 991 GTS with another Editor-in-Chief of a very popular print magazine. We both remarked how "large" the 991 now feels — almost GT-like.
