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

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.
