Ceramic brakes or standard brakes?

Well, I have decided that I have had enough wrenching on my old '69 and it is time to upgrade, so I am going to get a new GT3. To answer the first question, yes pennies from heaven did show up on my doorstep -- it certainly isn't based on my salary or my underwater stock options!

The question is whether or not to get the PCCB ceramic brakes or just stick with the standard brakes? I know both are fantastic but I have been wanting a new 911 for 30 years and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I want to make sure I get it right and I value you guys' opinions. I can get a car with the standard brakes immediately, but I have to order one to get the ceramic brakes.

Thanks for your advice -- needless to say pictures will be forthcoming when it finally arrives (probably in about six months if I order one).

PS-- I'll probably still keep the '69 -- I have spent way too many hours on it and otherwise I would have to get rid of the two spare engines, spare gearbox, etc. that is in the garage. Maybe my wife's agreement is merely a secret plot to get me to clean out the garage?
