Buckfever - you wouldn't believe the number of compliments we get on our Agate/Agate macan S...and 4 times we have been at our dealer for various reasons and customers have asked sales people to approach us to see if we would be willing to sell. This color combination is understated and elegant if that's what you like.
It's actually pretty simple, always wanted a black one, love the Agate. That's the tug of war. It's tough to set aside a 25 year desire, for what you might prefer today. I'd be happy with either though.

I really tried to like the Jet Black but for sure l prefer that plain Porsche deep Black. I even like it on the older ones where it's fatigued over time.

If you've always dreamed of it and are willing to do the work, there is nothing like the plain black.

"If you search the 991 forum you'll find pics of my black car, and the depth and softness of the finish is just incredible when properly cared for. We joked about the car being "invisible," since all your eyes could focus on were the reflections of the world around it - it was that black and that deep."

Regular wash takes me about 45 minutes, the full process takes me about three hours twice a year.
A couple months ago I posted a thread in this forum when I did all the cosmetic prep on my wife's new Macan delivery, lots of pics of the process.

Having watched this video (especially the section showing the car raise/lower) I am convinced that:
1) PASM + air IS A MUST! (around 4:50 on the video)
2) 20/21" wheels are ARE A MUST ... if you want to look cool!
