Tranny fluid: Redline versus Royal Purple

I replaced the tranny fluid in my 00 Carerra 2 a few thousand miles ago with Redline synthetic and noticed an improvement in shifting feel. I decided to swap fluids again (chasing a whine in tranny) and this time used Royal Purple and noticed another improvement in shifting feel.

I wouldnt have expected this given that both are synthetics and have good reps. But, good to know for anyone thinking of swapping.

It did not help whine-not sure if its "normal" or not.

Do you know how often Porsche recommends changing the tranny fluid?
