I have removed the front sway to curb understeer.

Agree with the others- the difference is bodystyle and AWD; which do you prefer?
I have no real world experience driving any 911 in the wet or snow (see my location). I do however have experience autocrossing a wide variety of mainly stock cars, having been a PCA AX school instructor.

It is possible a modified 4x4 911 will handle better (see your suspension mod), but every 4x4 student car in stock form (964 and 993) that I had the pleasure to drive had severe understeer and did poorly as a result in AX.

This is how I came to form my opinion. I may get a 4x4 one day but only in the form of a 993 Biturbo.
