It sounds like a great car. I have had many Porsche's with stick. I now have a PDK and love it.
I am also a pilot by trade. Get what you want... and enjoy it.
I just bought a 2014 S and I don't have one single day of regret. This one sounds like a well optioned car, high MSRP. I say get it. The PDK is a great transmission, comfortable and intuitive, you won't be disappointed.
If thats get the case, go for it.. I have only heard nothing but good things about the PDK, never drove one. I have driven a modded 08 997 turbo with tiptronic and did not like it at all.. I am old school, biased to stick I guess...
P.S. My girlfriend knows how to drive stick but I still don't allow her to drive my Porsche lol
Only thing that's missing for a cross country trip is the active cruise, assuming that the premium package comes with Nav. Also like to have the blue tooth phone package and voice control.
