There is one thing I do wonder, though. Is the straight line ride (tar strips/pot holes) of SPASM with PDCC smoother (softer) than SPASM alone?
How much of the extra firmness felt in SPASM is from the springs and how much is from the upgraded (non PDCC) sway bars?
So does the PDCC sway bar technology make SPASM less harsh?

You are going to get 1000 opinions from 1000 people. In the end, ask your dealer to be honest and have him suggest what he thinks you may need or want. Mine talked me out of PDCC thinking I would never track it, but did agree on Burmester. Now I want more and have tracked it. Can't say I miss the PDCC, never tried it.
Here are my quick recommendations:
Leather interior, don't bother with making everything leather.
Get a color you like interior and exterior
Like music, up for Burmester, otherwise stay base.
14 or 18 way seats. Get the regular seats unless you are a spirited driver or tracking occasionally.
Oh, Sport Chrono if PDK
Sport Exhaust or get a third party upgrade. The sounds it makes are just gravy.
Steering wheel, I got the multi-function as I like gadgets. Others like the sport design for the paddle shifts, buttons are growing on me.
Those are my opinions. Anything else you want is completely up to you. It's your new toy, make it the way you want ultimately.

+1 to all these suggestions! It is exactly what I would build.....

Since it has not been said the Entry & Drive is a real nice option (must have for me) as the car seems lacking without it.
Its cool opening the hood by touch, as there is otherwise no external release button for it.

If you are only interested in remotely opening Frunk, you could install SMARTTOP as aftermarket for a DIY for a few hundred dollars. SMARTTOPP makes units for both CAB and Coupes.

I like the amusing story I've read of a couple of folks with Entry and Drive where they were washing their car's and the hose stream pops the Frunk

As will sudsing and drying the car.
You learn not to keep the key fob in your pocket when washing the car.
Just another harmless character flaw, for the sake of daily convinience.
