The GT4 also has a completely different steering rack and shifter (both straight out of the GT3) than the GTS, which makes it a sharper drive even at a casual pace. But it's a lot of money just for some steering and shifter tweaks (especially since the GTS has the same drivetrain). Value retention and looks: yup, fair. The GTS trims hold value very well too, though (maybe not quite as well, but there's also a 15k price delta to compensate for).

Also, as I mentioned, the 718's controls are a bit lighter/softer (less "raw") than the 981, and while Porsche/AP has (AFAIK) never explained why they did it, the general assumption is that they mainly did it to make the car more livable for people who regularly drive around town. So, while I've driven the 718, my perspective mainly comes from owning and driving the harsher 981.
