Default 997.1 TT AWD vs. 997.2 TT AWD - What's the diff?

Could someone explain the AWD differences in the two gens of 997 TT cars? I understand the .2 has a more rear-bias, and more sporty design, but what are the specifics? Also, what modifications were made to suspension and other handling differences between the two (I know of dynamic engine mounts)!

I have heard that the .2 suspension is much improved out of the box vs. the .1

Luckily it seems most of the .1 issues are electronics related and can be "fixed" easily with the DSC box.

People who have driven both seem to say suspension performance goes like:

997.1 < 997.2 < 997.1 with DSC < 997.2 with DSC

I am not aware of any AWD differences.

The front transaxle is completely different between the cars. (Take That into consideration when changing the diff fluid)
