Alan, Equ and whomever else can really help me with this, please, please, please help me better understand exactly what these options are. I have until mid-day Monday to figure this all out.

We (my wife has given a stamp of approval) are seriously considering the 911 'vert that I posted above at a pricepoint that is both reasonable and with how slow the auction is moving looking more and more realistic. I know you guys don't like it, but we do. I would like to understand more about the options, what they are, what they do, and their 'value' in the Porsche car world. Is there anything missing that you'd consider a 'must have'?

What exactly is Porsche Torque Vectoring?
EDIT: Is this just traction control, or does it add a mechanical LSD
What exactly does Sport Chrono add to a base Carrera?

I saw WDC mention Lane Change Assist as being useful in Alan's next car thread? is it a simple blind spot warning, or something else.
EDIT: Blind spot monitor

What is Power Steering Plus?
EDIT: Lightens steering at low speeds, seems like mixed reviews - anybody tried it, is it defeatable?

Premium Package Plus?
Edit: Heated / Ventilated Seats, Comfort Access, LED Headlights - seems like a really nice package

Along w/ the above, you guys have said before the 18 way seats are worth holding out for. I'm not too excited about the sport exhaust, but its there.

I obviously will be googling all of this as well, but you guys that have lived with/experienced some of this stuff I'd like your first hand impressions.
Edit: my googling added
