I am thinking of moving from the turbo to a GT3, is the 997 mk1 gt3 worthy of the extra 20k in terms of driving or is it basically the same thing with a modern interior?

I think you need to look at how you'll be using it. The 997 is a much more everyday car. I'm on track for about 15k in a year, even took it out in -10 last winter. I don't think I'd manage that in a 996 gt3

What a vid that 2nd was is!

That 996 sounds so mechanical. The engine sounds very very crisp compared to others I've heard. The pilot was also giving it 110%, but unfortunately ended up 10% too much in the end trying to keep up with the quicker metal. Still, great to watch. Great driving smile
