Default Thoughts on my TTS build? Triple Black on Heritage

So I walked into the dealer to check status on my 992.2 GTS allocation and started to discuss the rumors of the 992.2 Turbo coming in manual. Since the GTS is also rumored to be PDK only moving forward I figured I would talk to the dealer about switching to the 992.2 Turbo with manual. He said either way it'll take about 12-16 months to get either car but he said "I can put you in a TTS in 4 months while you wait" and offer me a editable allocation with an October delivery date. So of course I said YES.

I'm very torn between GT Silver/Heritage and Triple Black/Heritage. Currently have a Black 997.2 on Black that I love so this will be replacing that. My original combo was Ice Grey/Cohiba but I'll probably reserve that for the 992.2 since we don't know until when the Heritage interior will be available.

Option 1: Triple Black on Black Heritage
Option 2: GT Silver on Cognac Heritage

Exhaust:
I really like the individuality and look of the Quad Turbo exhaust so I'm going non-PSE and will just program it. Will this affect resale?

SPASM:
Is the SPASM GT3 harsh or is it just slightly harsher than standard PASM on the TTS? Had a GT3 over the weekend and it was a blast but too harsh for the daily driving I'm planning on the TTS.

Audio:
Is the Burmester audio worth it? I haven't had any luck with audio on the TTS. All feel anemic. At $4K this audio system is not too expensive but it also isn't cheap. Anyone regret not getting it?

This will be my first TTS. Please rate and provide any feedback on my build. This will be a purchase, most likely 1-2 year horizon.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Looks good. I am partial to the aero kit. And maybe the upgraded audio.

Stickers are silly. The mirrors are a no. I like the all black with heritage. No one regrets the burmester. The Bose system isn’t very good.

Btw it’s not triple black unless it’s a cabrio or targa. The third black is the color of the top.

Added the audio. Aero kit took me over budget ($265K)

aero would most likely extend delivery. Car gets here early Oct. Bridge car until the .2 Turbo Manual gets here.

I saw a black TTS with black quad exhaust and cognac heritage interior and it looked amazing too. Had black brake calipers. Hard no on the silver mirrors.

IMO little chance for a .2 Manual Turbo, esp given it will be hybrid.

Exhaust. Get the quads.

SPASM. Not rough at all and looks a lot better.

Burmeister. Pretty much a no brainer. FYI when I was shopping I skipped the ones that didn't have it optioned.

How was the contrast on the black with the cognac?

It looked stunning. Really loved it. Contrast interior on a black car works great. There is a short clip of it here:

Sometimes less is more. I prefer 992s without the aero kit...the car looks simpler...minimalist, cleaner... and more porsche. I have the aero kit on mine because that's the deal I had on the table. But if I was speccing from scratch...I wouldn't include the aero kit ...even if there were no cost implications. Last, even the rear wing / spoiler looks better without the aero kit. For me ..the essential specs are: the adaptive cruise control (a must for traffic on daily commutes), and heritage (congac).

Just a different perspective on things Good luck on the purchase and follow your heart.
