My perspective on auto transmissions was instantly revolutionized the first time I drove my friend's Mk5 GTI with a DSG. It maintained the control you wanted in a manual with clear enough engagement of the driveline, while also offering a commute-friendly auto mode. Compare that to the current PDK, and the case for choosing the auto is even stronger.
I wouldn't look for a Sportomatic long hood (but then again, at current long hood prices no one is buying them for driving enjoyment), but also wouldn't buy a 991 with 3 pedals either. As to the lack of involvement from only using two pedals and no shifter - I would be more concerned about the traction control, torque vectoring, even ABS than the method of changing gears. Think about how involved you feel even racing a stupid single speed go kart - it's not the gears, it's the chassis engagement.
