I've recently bought a 997 CS with tip - having always owned manual transmissions.

About 5-10% of the time, I wish I had a manual. The rest of the time, I'm happy with the tip.

I don't do track days but still enjoy spirited driving - that's when I use the manual feature. Otherwise, it's relatively intuitive for the driving at the time.

In hindsight, I'm glad I got the tiptronic... but then many 'purists' who laugh at the idea of a tip also commute in their sports cars. In traffic, it's a wonderful thing and it takes more than a gearbox 'type' to ruin a thoroughly enjoyable driving experience.
