Cayenne Decision - advice needed

Looking to get a Cayenne Turbo or GTS and was looking for some advice. On the one hand, I think I should save money and get the GTS (already have 09 997TT so don't need to go too fast in a truck) but on the other hand, I feel the Turbo would avoid any regrets. Here are a couple of more factors:

1. Both are 09 black and getting 10% off sticker.
2. Turbo is about $17k more than GTS after discounts
3. Turbo has 19" wheels (no wheel arches) while GTS has 21" SportPlus, so I would need to "remedy" that if I go for the Turbo
4. GTS has no ParkAssist while Turbo has Camera w/ParkAssist
5. GTS has rear blinds but Turbo doesn't (useful for my kids)
6. Both have full leather interior (hate the plasticky GTS standard interior)
7. Turbo has pano roof but GTS has moonroof

Also tell me if I should lease or finance 3.9%.

Thanks in advance.

does the GTS have manual? because that would be a clincher

While I think that the GTS is the way to go, I've honestly got to say that the panoramic roof was one of my favorite features of my turbo.

My wife has the GTS and we love it. I think it looks better than the stock TT (IMO) and the TT, in our case, was overkill.

Power-wise I would prefer the TT but the GTS will probably have better resale. Looks will be better with the 21". Also, even the S is pretty snappy & you do have a TT...but I have seen the Turbo on a track & seriously they are amazing.

does she at least have a man pedal in her car to make up for the lack of one in yours?
