PDK just a little bit boring. Maybe when I get pissed by the new GT3 or RS passing me on track I switch.

I have a 991 GT3, the PDK-S is great on the track but agree on the manual. The thing I hate about the porsche pdk system is the selector is exactly like an auto. You have to move it over to go into manual mode (at least if u want it to stay there). I had the PDK on a 991 C2S I was driving for 5 months and hated it. I preferred the M3's DCT as it would at least start in manual if you left it there the next time you started the car. While I am sure the porsche pdk was faster it didn't feel that way to me. Preferred the paddles on the M3. Always drove the M3 in manual mode, while I tend to just put the gt3 (and especially the C2S) in auto while street driving.

I am curious if the manual feels better in the GTS over the C2S/C4S as I really didn't find it all that impressive despite being derived from the PDK transmission.
