Stefan, I am in the same boat. If I opt out of the 458 would I prefer the Turbo or the 4S (I like the wide rear). Also, like you I have concerns regarding the cost of the TT after getting what I would deem necessary options. At the end of the day, it could cost well over $160,000. 

That said, I like my cars to stand out and have some exclusivity. The Turbo does separate itself from the other 911 models. (the GT2,GT3 and RS have those silly whale tails which make then look stupid on public streets and highways). It has Ferrari like performance at a fraction of the cost.

Depreciation will be an issue but even with Ferrari, the day of driving the car and selling it for more than what you paid for it is gone.

If money is a serious issue go with the 4S. If money is a consideration and nothing more, then go with the Turbo.
