I haven't decided yet, still considering some other options. The biggest issues for me are the following two:

1. Everyone loves high rev NA engines but they are not useful. 4.0L NA has way less torque than 3.0 Turbo, and similar max power output, but at any low-mid range, which you use daily, turbo wins. I used to have a S 1000 RR and I hardly use anything near the red zone because in 1st gear to use 14000RPM it would be 140km/h already. I think even if I buy the GT4/Spyder, I probably wouldn't drop to 1st to utilize 6k rpm during a tight turn.

2. I always think if I can afford 911, I wouldn't choose 718. Be it 992 vs 718, or GT3 vs GT4.

With that said, I absolutely love the 718 Spyder but if I shop with logic not passion I probably would go for something else.
I'm in the same boat although with LCI M2.
Either I go for GT4/Spyder (and face the long 2nd gear issue) or wait for 911T in manual which might be the sweet spot for DD & Occasional Track/Tour around EU.
The 911T seems the best choice and I regret that I missed the last one as it's an amazingly fun car for the money.
