Surely it will have rev-matching as well, but again, just wished DCT would've been an option.

the key question will become price for me, between the base vs comp.

if the base (474hp) comes in around 70k, and they slap a 8-10k upcharge for the competition (closer to 80k for a base competition), i think I may have to seriously consider the possibility of a CPO 992 S for around $100k in a couple of years.

but I'm hoping I'm wrong, and the competition "base" price will be closer to 70k than to 80k

10AT will I am sure be *faster* than a 7 speed DCT.. which is all that matters for you.. as you stated, you already have set sail on the automatic ship (which INCLUDES DCT) in other words... you picked the ship (automatic) so stick with it..
