Just a couple of thoughts about the original post.
I have PDK/paddles in my Carrera GTS, and PDK/multi-function in my Panamera 4S. I think each wheel is appropriate in the respective cars.
My previous C2S was PDK/multi-function. I found myself inadvertently upshifting in AX and DE events. So for the GTS, paddles are better. But in the Panamera (which I don't track) that has never been an issue and I like the multi-function buttons. As another person commented, in the Panny I hardly ever shift at all - I just leave it in D and let the PDK think for me.
I don't have servotronic steering in either of my cars - but I've never read a magazine article about it that had anything good to say. the steering in both my cars is great without it - so I'd avoid it altogether.
You DEFINITELY want the park assist/camera option. I have park assist without the camera, and have inquired if a camera could be installed by the dealer. Sadly, the answer seems to be "no." You will not regret that option, believe me.
