I add remote park to my build mostly for my wife. She scratched her current car multiple times when entering our garage, and I really hope that she won't do so to our coming 911. Though, her mistakes might have been due to her current car being too old and having no sensor/camera at all. It is possible that with the regular backing camera and sensors she would be able to enter and get out of our garage smoothly, in which scenario the remote park option could indeed be useless. Thank you for raising this point, and I will think about whether it is truly worth keeping it in my build.

Thank you all for the discussion on the noise insulated glass. My decision to add it to my build was motivated by this thread. It seems to me that people with this option are all happy with their decision. If it is as effective as said, I believe it is a great option for people like me who appreciate a lower level of undesirable noise.

Later, when I discussed my build with my sales man, he pointed out that sport chrono is not necessarily a must, and suggested not selecting it if it is unlikely to be used. After reflecting on whether I might use it, I finally decided to remove it from my build, because (a) I don't track my car and (b) I find the regular sport mode sufficient in non-track driving (will sport plus be too much?). Though, I do miss the chronograph on top of the dashboard. I have been used to it in my macan (the chronograph is included in macan even without sport chrono), and established a feeling that it is one of the most recognizable icons of a porsche. I wish porsche would make the chronograph an independent option in the future.

Despite not being fully sporty, I guess I am not fully ready for luxury. Full leather is probably the option I thought over the most. On one hand, I do love its classy look and touch; on the other hand, I worry about its maintenance and durability. I found multiple threads on rennlist debating about full leather, and I do understand that it does not necessarily cost more maintenance than expected. However, what I am concerned about the most is that if I go full leather, I would be involuntarily cautious about things like whether I am wearing something sharp that might scratch the seat, whether I am parking too long under the sun, whether the raindrops I let in would damage the leather, and whether I am taking enough care of it to prevent it from aging, even if none of these could be a real concern. With this nerve, I don't think that full leather would be able to make me happier (it might end up making me less happy), so I decide to go with the standard interior/seats, just like what I have in my current macan, for the freedom of no caution/worry.

That being said, I am still open to both sport chrono and full leather. Please share if I have any experience with either, and I'd appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.
Whoa... First, you're overthinking everything and second, you're thinking is just wrong. Raindrops? Sharp objects? Etc? Your call but base it on reality. Congrats on the early allocation. In my not-so-humble opinion, sport chrono and leather is the icing on that 911 cake!

Agree. Noise reduction even useful is no match for the improvement in experience from leathers. In my opinion here are the must have in order of importance:

lca (a must have)
upgraded wheels
Sports chrono
PSE or at least a diff exhaust than the square ones (if C2)
full leathers
premium package.
acc (for active safety features not for the cruise)

things don’t need:
front axle lift (unless u have front sports fascia)
noise insulation glass
matrix lights (had it on my bmw and not useful more of a gimmick)
memory seats (too slow to access back seat or child seat)
moon roof (increase of weight, reduction in height, not good)
LKA (works against your wish half of the time)

Scratch in your own garage…?
Remote parking won’t safe your 911 my friend.
Safe the money and just park the car for her.
