About servicing in Estonia, the Gallardo owners I know use the Swedish dealer, they have a service package which includes the Helsinki-Stockholm boat stuff with their licensed driver etc for relatively cheap....(at least was?)
Give me private message if questions, I've driven both here. Main point is that Porsche is excellent for daily use and can be made very fast especially on the straight line. There are 700hp 997 Turbos on our streets!
The Gallardo on the other hand can be more fun to drive and more exotic. And the N/A engine is awesome...If you like high revving sounds it is excellent compared to Turbo. If you get the G get a color that does not shout "look here"...something very subtle

I've seen yellow, orange, white and black Gallardos here in Helsinki. I'm thinking white.

This one is a no-brainer: LP560-4.
Although I haven't driven one, I have driven a few '06 and newer Gallardo's and the LP is supposed to be a much, much better car in every way. Sure it has the wow factor, but don't let others fool you into thinking it's not a driver's car as well. I have had many 911s (including Turbos) and I seem to eventually get bored--I think the Lambo will hold your interest longer. The Gallardo also has excellent reliability, especially if you get a 6 speed. The LP560-4 is a much different car than it's predecessor. Personally, I enjoyed reading the review attached below.
