If you got Sport Chrono, would you get it again?

I got it for the looks. Hate it on 911, but like it on 981.
On a side note, something that is not publicized well, is with sport chrono you also get couple of gizmo displays - the G force meter and the shift indicator display. Nothing crucial. But quite a few don't realize with out sport chrono, you don't get those (you still get the power/torque display with out it).

I don't have sport Chrono in the RS but it shows Gmeter..

Here is the page in the manual - http://www.porscheownersmanuals.com/...hift-assistant

Interesting that in the RS you get the G meter even with out sport chrono. According to people who have posted here who have GT4 with out sport chrono, they don't have the G meter display.
ps. I am still catching up on your epic Trackcar ED thread when I get time. Epic trip... wish to emulate even tiny part of it some day.

Rather than buying a new wrist watch, I spec'd mine with sport chrono 
I feel the dash looks complete and amazing with it there, particularly with the deviated stitching! I have a dedicated race car, so this is simply a purist street car for me, if it was a track car solely, I would order it fully stripped with LWBs, nothing else. Two different purposes/mindsets.

So I'm reconsidering my configuration. As I understand it:
1) Sport Chrono is a nice $1800 watch on the dash
2) Lap timer is about as useful as my 06S lap timer.
3) G meter and gear indicator included (for a manual car??)
ok. if its for looks, I much rather get the deviated stitching and $325 on a yellow patch on top of the steering wheel....

I don't like the look of the clock, but the Track Precision app (includes WLAN module) is available separately from Tequipment for $1495;

The track precision app is the only reason I'd pay for it, and seems to have come a long way from buggy early versions. The interface isn't the best, but it's better integrated than aftermarket solutions I've used. Looking over the data traces with a pro race engineer friend of mine he commented that it's got most of what they really use- slip angles front and rear, etc, and I find the data very useful. Yes like nearly all Porsche options it's overpriced at $1800, but I'd get it again (for my use) for the relatively clean way to get data.
