Is the 2009 Carrera pdk right for me?

I am thinking about selling my minty '74 Targa and my current daily driver ('05 G35) as I think I have a good deal on a very low miles 2009 Carrera pdk.

Question is will I be happy in the '09 911 as a daily driver about 30 minutes of no traffic driving and a 90 commute into a large city about every 2 weeks.
I want fairly low maintenance ride, comfort, fairly easy in and out and a nice acceleration curve.

I am convinced I'll like the performance but I wonder if I'll find it too stiff - I take no enjoyment from feeling every pebble on the road but I've done track days and certainly enjoy a spirited ride or on-ramp.

Other issue is I am compromising on colour - I really want blue but this one is white which I swore I would not consider but I think it's growing on me.

2009 is the first year of the PDK is that bad?

Sidenote: Breaks my heart to sell the old targa but I just don't drive it much as it does not have heat or AC and it can be noisy. Otherwise the car has been an absolute gem, never left me stranded, basically no issues and it turns heads.

Part of this post is therapy just looking for general comments and maybe if there are any certain problems with the '09 Carrera pdk.
