997 GT3 - Alcantra Wheel

For those lucky enough to have taken delivery already, how do you like the Alcantra steering wheel? I have a March build and want to know if there's any benefit to the optional leather wheel vs. Alcantra? Is the Alcantra wheel slippery?

Thanks

I love the Alcantra wheel. It reminds me of my Cup car and is very soft on the hands. I like it better than leather.

AzGT3 is infamous around these parts
Good news bad news to me. My 996GT3 had the thicker optional wheel. I liked the extra thickness of that wheel vs. the 997GT3 wheel. However I love the feel and texture of the material on the new wheel. The best would be a thick wheel with Alcantra.
