997 GT3 Clutch Question

My Gt3 is coming soon and I can't wait but I was wondering from you guys that already have yours what the clutch is like. My Turbo's clutch is hydraulic which to me feels too assisted. How much heavier is the GT3 clutch over the 996 turbo's?

CyE55 is infamous around these parts
The clutch is a dream. I was actually just thinking how easy the clutch is in the car this morning, when I met a few other (hot headed) 6speeders.

If the GT3 is the same as the RS then it is noticeably heaver. I dropped my turbo off for some work when I picked up the RS. Very noticeable right away but after a little seat time I like it better then the turbo. Seems to catch much earlier then the turbo.
