Quack, Quack...
After much consideration, I decided to go duck on the Carrera. MUCH better than the 3.8... I really like the duck. It is currently in "gas-out mode" therefore it is not painted/prepped yet. It is from GT-Racing and fits very well, but will require a little bit of finish fit before squirting.
My 3.8 is available in the classifieds if anyone is interested... Before:   After:

I like your duck!
Those fuchs look cool too, and are those 993 door handles you have there?

Aesthetics...I prefer the duck. Function? Open to debate. But really, how often do we street guys drive 100 plus? Track? Another story...depending on the track(s) you run most often. My advice? If street, run what looks good to you. If track, run what works best...

Nice ducktail. Nice 993 door handles too, I'd never noticed that.

Wow, of course, being a 911 your car has always looked good, but the original before compared to your newest most improved after is like the ugly duckling to the beautiful swan.
The color match fuchs, carrera script, duck, RS nose.... Awesome.

Banned but not out, yet..

The 3.8 was far too heavy looking. The duck is IT! Nice choice!

I have to admit, I like the 3.8 spoiler on your car, it balanced out the RSR front bumper.
 I'm tempted to try one out...

Hmmm... IROC bumpers on a Targa with a ducktail. Looks fantastic. Could you please post a picture of your car with the Targa top off. I need to get a good visual before I start chopping on my car again!
