I've driven a 911 with a PDK a few times, I definitely wasn't bored with it. The PDK is actually the better transmission choice, technically speaking. It shifts faster, the gear ratios are better, and unlike every other automatic on the planet the weight difference between the PDK and the manual is a relative parity. If you are looking to get the most out of your 911 you need a PDK, simple as that.
Having said all of that if I was buying one today I'd get a manual, but that's just because of personal preference. There is absolutely no reason to get a manual over the PDK outside of "I like manuals". Someone else isn't wrong because their personal preference doesn't line up perfectly with your own.
...and yes plenty of people out there will go, you got the PDK? Nice! (because porsche owners don't say SICK since they're usually not 20 years old)
