Clearly folks are not reading the original question. I'll try and help out though. I just went through this decision, and in the end it was an easy choice for the 2009 Standard Carrera. Just 10hp shy of the '08 S, and all the new goodies. I ordered my car with P17 sport PASM and Limited Slip.That alone was a big draw for me.
In the end, there is no "wrong" choice here. I much preferred the2009 car, which I hope to have in my hands in the next 3 to 4 weeks.

I did not choose the PDK gearbox. I do believe it is the very best of the breed, but I can't stand them. I derive a great deal of pleasure from getting the gearchange right. I find myself feeling very detached from the car as a whole when using any of these semi-auto gearboxes, as there is just no feeling of mechanical interaction.
This article on the Cayman does a better job of explaining my own feelings about it than I can.

Hope that helps a little.

The 997.1 S was priced ridiculously low. It was also perfectly optioned - sport chrono, sport exhaust, nav, Bose, etc. In the end, it was the "version 1.0" argument that tipped the scales - that, and the fact that I spent about 15K less on the 2008 S than I would've on the 2009 base.
Thanks for all your help.

Guess I didn't know that. Can you tell me what 15K of mods the 2008 S has that the 09 base has stock?
