991 GT3 RS or 997.2 GT3 RS

I'm debating currently whether to go for a 991 GT3 RS or look for a low mileage 997.2 GT3 RS. I'm looking for a combination of dream drivers car while investing my money in 4 wheels (it's how I get the misses to buy in)! I'm an avid driver that enjoys spirited road driving and track driving and have settled on the GT3 RS, my question to the serious Porsche people on the forum is; which one would you go for if you couldn't have both, based on a combination of driving dynamics and future value. I know that's a hard question to answer based on the 991 RS still under wraps and I know its impossible to predict the future values but you gut instinct would be good to hear?

My letter of intent is in 10k deposit on first official announcement of the car from Porsche however that still doesn't guarantee you a car, I'm guessing you needed to be on the favourites list to be certain if one. Fingers crossed they announce next month in Paris!

Interestingly I spoke to multiple OPC's about their potential allocation and what they require from me to register my interest, most are happy with a LOI however a select few are asking for 10k upfront now, where the majority are saying they are not able to accept a deposit until the official announcement from Porsche that they are building the car!

What's other peoples experiences have you had to put up the 10k deposit up front?
