Are you looking for something a bit more comfortable? The 599 is the perfect GT car. But if you think you'd miss the handling characteristics of the 430, then the Scud is the way to go!
If I already had a 430, I might go 599 just to experience the V12, front engine pinnacle!

My guess is that someone interested in the luxuries of the 599 is NOT also interested in the hardcore-ness of the Scud. 
599 is a great car, but I like the 430 a little more, especially for the $100K difference. Just upgrade your 430 or something - wheels and exhaust - to make it feel new again.

Thanks for the input, guys.
The 100-120k + difference is an issue for both a Scud and a 599 .
Honestly, I couldn't justify the 120k diff for a scud the way I drive, so I got the GT3 and kept the 430. I still love the 430, and it's perfectly specced for me. But it's running out of warranty soon, which got me thinking...
