997.1 GT3 or 997.2 GT3 which one?

I have used the search button on this fellows so take it easy on me but I'm on the fence right now on a deal between these two GT3's I really didn't find a solid enough answer between the 2...wanted to hear input not just performance difference but which one is a better gt3 overall. I know the #'s in Hp & torque exist but for those who had both why did you switch to the newer one? Or for those who opted for the .2 why? And lastly if the the deal is within 15k of each other would you take the .2 vs the .1? Or take the 15k and spend it on the .2? Thank you guys in advance.

.2 all around better. Probably won't matter much on street driving, but on the track it is worth it for sure. Plus you get 3 years warranty!

If you can afford the .2, get it. If you can't, the .1 is amazing enough. I'm happy with my .1 and feel no need to update. If I didn't have my .1, I'd get a .2.

If the delta is only $15k, get the 997.2, and forget the mods!

you want a SOLID answers?
the .2 is better than .1 in EVERY WAY, i do mean in EVERY SINGLE WAY, measurable or not. if someone disagrees, they are clearly not familiar with these cars.

the only question is do you want to spend the extra money.

I wouldn't be able to get the GT3 RS to full its full potential.
