To the OP: consider the 981. My 6spd was miles above the 987S it replaced in every way, imo. As much as I loved my 987, when I took the 981 on a test drive, the decision was clear for me. I haven't driven a 718, but most reviews mention the sound as a big drawback. Plus, 981s are in the sweet spot of new/depreciation curve as we speak.

Also, I test drove only 6spds when shopping for my 981. I refused to test a PDK, because I didn't want to like it. I then had a PDK as a week-long loaner... It's an INCREDIBLE box--intuitive, rapid, instant and far more talented than me. I was almost sad to swap back to a manual (and this from a lifelong, die-hard manual fan).
