It's interest to see all the opinions tossed around here, it would be nice if a real Porsche tech rep could be coaxed into explaining the break-in period and the oil change interval.

Good job, Tre_oh! You are doing the right thing, IMHO. Only a couple hundred miles to go. I did the same you did, drove as many miles I could, as soon as possible, to complete the break-in process.
If you plan on keeping your car, long term, I would also recommend an oil change now. Well worth the $100-200 for the piece-of-mind. I did my first oil change at about 1,200 miles and again just prior to winter storage.
