DaveGordon:

Anyone know if the gearbox/linkage in the Spyder is the same as in the GT4? The 'box in the GT4 seemed to me to be waaay better than the standard models.

Probably achieved by using a "short-shift" lever, as in all 911 and Boxster variants since 996. Easily achieved by altering the kinematics at the gear-lever end of the linkage cables, and could also be retrofitted to other models in the range at relatively reasonable cost.
