I absolutely love that option. I think it is very subtle, mainly because it is embossed rather than stitched on. It does add some sportiness to the interior, which is good given how staid the interior is. Not that everything Ferrari does is great, but all their seats have an embossed prancing horse, and it just looks so dang GOOD. In a Porsche, the effect is the same with the embossed crest.

I don't know how much this option is on the 997, but on the 996 it was around $220 or so, which is cheap relative to most Porsche options. So I definitely say go for it.
