I don't know this with certainty, but it seems so intuitive to me that I have to call b**lsh*t. Just look at the aerokit threads here and you'll see that feelings about the aerokit vary considerably and run deeply. It's a controversial and highly visible and expensive option. I can't imagine that it holds up well in resale. PCCB's on the other hand, at least as long as there is faith in the new product - and I think there generally is - must hold up better. Start a poll and ask who would like to have PCCB's on their 997 - I bet most will want it. Compare that to the aerokit - mixed bag.
Listen - nothing holds up that well in resale - period. Having said that, I can't imagine that the aerokit does, and I wouldn't be surprised if PCCB's do (provided prices don't come tumbling down in the next few years . .. )
I could be wrong, but I don't think so.
Dealers are routinely full of sh*t.

Re: what do you think of this
It looks like you've alaready got 2 996 TT's. Doesn't that make the question easy?
If it was me, I'd get the Turbo S. This kind of question has come up before here, and good arguements can be made on either side. I for one, would favor the bullet proof TT engine that is capable of serious mods, is unlikely to have RMS issues, and is an absolute blast. Plus, it has PCCB's. As I said before, a 911 Turbo is timeless.
Is resale an issue for you?
