Anyone considered an e-tron GT due to Taycan lead times?

I have driven a 4S and Turbo and decided that a 4S would be the right car but the lead times are insane. I think after 10 years of Porsche sports cars, it’s time to move on but don’t want to give up too much of the 2 door fun in the process. There are e-trons close enough by for purchase but too far away for just a test drive. I loved the acceleration, handling, and interior of the 4S. I had Audi’s for many years but it has been a while. Anyone with experience on the base e-tron GT versus 4S?

Be aware that the E-tron GT rides very differently than the Taycan, despite the shared platform components. It is much more of a GT car than Porsche’s four door sports car. Performance is more than 0-60 times.
The Audi won’t hold its value as well as the Porsche Taycan, because life isn’t fair. The Audi is assembled in a completely different facility with far fewer quality checks than Porsche. To be clear, it’s not an inferior product, but it’s also not a Porsche.
If you can snag one without waiting for months, and the above doesn’t matter to you, why not?
