I'm 99.99% sure I want manual...I have other cars with automatic for a daily commute. The rest is more datapoints. Ultimately it is my decision. Given the inventory it is so hard to walk into dealerships and see some on the floor and online configurator does not give you 100% view on how it actually looks.
I saw some people complaining about the manual, but your datapoint swayed me into getting one....

I do seriously admire the PDK for what it is engineering wise, and if the car was primarily for track work then that'd be my choice. But that's not what I bought this car for, indeed if that was the case I'd have a 991 GT3 instead.

I'd do the Carrera S wheels in the standard color or opt for the turbo wheels. The darker wheels make it look dingy. Plus the brighter wheels play nicer with the light interior. Agate grey is a great color.
Go to the 4 way sport plus seats if you have kids ride in the back. Waiting on that electric slide seat is an eternity. You have surround view so it's not like you need the dipping mirrors. Only value of the 18s is memory on the seats if you share the car.
Overall it's a solid build. Get what you want.

Whatever you do put pdk on the car just for resale issues. It's hard to sell a manual when you're done with the car. You're having the same problem I'm having. First your build is a Cab so it's going to be tall. I don't see a lot of dead money in your build at all. The fact that is is an S your at the top and I fear the same thing you fear, it's to much $$. The seats could go 14 way, but that's only $1500 out. I love the 930 stitch but it's dead money. So I found $3000. $157ish. If you live where you can drive a Cab all year round do it other wise I'd pass. Good luck!!
I would choose what you want, but don't fear at all on resale if you go with the manual. And it is a fantastic transmission, second only probably to the 992 GT3 6 speed manual.

If this helps, here are a few pics of my C2S in agate grey with mojave beige interior. I had the interior ceramic coated to help protect the leather, extend the life and allow for easy cleaning/maintenance.
Yes, you will get and see dye transfer from your pants or other garments. This happens with all leather, however you just don’t see it with the darker leather. It’s easy to clean off especially if you protect it. I just spray a mix of soap and water and a gentle wipe down to maintain things.
Choose what you like and don’t worry about anything else as it is your car!
Oh and I get compliments all the time about the color combination, mainly the interior!

I have a 2022 MT Targa 4s and love the manual. The PDK would likely make the car quicker, but the MT is just fun for me. I live in So Cal and even driving in traffic doesn't bother me. I am smiling ear to ear every time in get, step on the clutch and turn it on. I have gotten so use to a MT again that when I get in my Yukon or my wife's Honda Odyssey my left foot searches for the clutch.

Your "S" build is very similar to my incoming GTS, except interior color (I chose black/burgundy after seeing one at my dealer's shop), and I chose RWS but no LKA. I have the same wheels/color and suggest black calipers, since the red ones don't tie in to any other element of your car. Oh, and keep the manual. Enjoy.
