One other thing that I forgot to mention about the 996 cup wheel that no body ever mentions...the smaller diameter means the top of the wheel blocks your view of most of the tacho and the speedo. This can be solved by removing the lower cushion of your seat (euro bucket) so that you are sitting lower in the car. Minor detail but potentially annoying.

I'm using the 997Cup/RSR quick disconnect with the optional internal multi pin connector. There are 21 pin inputs in the connector. The is no external coiled cord. There is a small amount of coiled cord hidden internally in the cavity of the steering wheel hub, effectively functioning like the clock spring. I have the two buttons on the 997Cup wheel wired to the horn and two external buttons mounted on a CF backing plate to operate the various modes of the Motec display. Being able to disconnect the steering wheel and take it home with you also makes a nice theft deterrent.
I personally prefer the smaller 320mm 997Cup wheels as they make steering inputs quicker and more precise than the larger 350mm 996Cup wheel. The smaller wheel has definitely improved my driving. I also like the fact that the 997 (and 991) Cup wheel rim is thicker than the 996 versions which just feels too skinny in my hands. It all comes down to preference I guess....
