Working on my build right now for lock date approaching, and torn on PDCC (definitely want RAS). Completely appreciate it’s more stable, but mindful if it feels any level of disconnect or float. Not a good comparison but my other car as M suspension which I love, and also spend a lot of time in the same X5 with air suspension and it feels very floaty. Again, SUV vs 992 is apples and oranges, but my perception of differing suspensions was noticeable.
Im leaning towards no PDCC as assume the stock GTS suspension is very good anyway, and most positive talk on PDCC appears to be on comfort. Having driven a GTS on the road the ride was not an issue, and much more complaint than my older F80 M3.

This is good to read, but also tough to isolate how much each variable impacts cornering. Not doubting any of this, but if only this could be measured to understand 991 vs 992, tires, RAS, PDCC and then sum of all.

PDCC Option (with required RAS) = $5260. (RAS alone is $2,000 and includes lithium battery)
Club Leather Interior option = $5340
PDK Sport Package option = $5460
Premium Package option = $5350
Is PDCC in a 911 worth that cost to you? Do you have unlimited funds? Would you prefer to spend that $ on different options? It is your car so only you can answer.
Best wishes on your build.
