Option 1: M/T M3 basic spec 90 650$cad + reduce to two cars + fits newborn easier - run it all year long rwd.

Option 2: At less then 10k difference going for a 718 GTS 4.0 M/T + cover engagement + better overall quality/dynamics/styling - requires a 3rd car/winter beater

Option 3: stretch budget 20-30k more and get base 911 + space for child(relative, not so easy) + 911 - less track ready - no M/T + Good daily - a little showoff for my area

Juggling with this stuff daily...
If your main reason to change is that you want a more engaging car, I think it has to be the 718 GTS. I don't know that you would be happier in an M3 given it's size? And the 992 is awesome. It has a more compliant ride than the M2 in my opinion and just feels more refined. I'm not sure that is what you want. So 718 assuming you are ok driving a beater for a good amount of time.
I guess a nice day of test driving is needed when the G80 hits the dealers.
