I've currently got 20s and PASM and the ride is absolutely fine. I'm now fiddling with the configurator on a daily basis (as you do), and wondered if I really need the PASM or if I can buy different goodies instead.
Has anyone got (or driven) 20s or 21s without PASM?
Try before you buy. Are you really going to take someone's own personal opinion about this!

+1. Nothing is 'a necessity', it's all relative and personal to you. If you already like the ride with PASM, why risk changing it? Not that it's of much significance, but not sure I personally would buy a Porsche without PASM, new or second hand. It just seems that a Porsche should have it to me, I don't know why? Do you have your eye on a different option you are wanting to use the cost on? Oh these decisions!
As above. However my test drive was in a Macan with 20" wheels and PASM and liked the ride so chose to add it to my build. I've not tried a car without it so can't say if it was a good decision from a comparative perspective.
The standard suspension with 20" RS Spyders is fine. I suspect PASM will stiffen things up a bit in Sport and very stiff in Sport plus. On a day to day basis I am fine with the standard suspension. It's really odd that Boxster and Cayman owners used to spec PASM in order to get a more comfortable ride on bigger wheels and now Macan owners seem to spec PASM in order to get a stiffer suspension.

Not if they don't have a tray table in their place of work.
You're right though, I wouldn't make a big spec choice like that without trying it first. Just good to hear others views in case I can look at reallocating the funds elsewhere!

Man, that hurts!
In which case, go no PASM and tiny 16's. It'll look and drive brilliant, honest!

My car will have Spyders and no PASM so I'll be able to tell you when/if it turns up. I like a firm ride though and only liked the demo in Sport mode (on 18's)..and even then felt it was a bit soft. I was told that standard dampers are between normal and sport PASM settings so hope that 20's will give me the extra stiffness I want.
