Yes. I suggest you base this purchase on more than the opinions of a bunch of forum addicts like us. When spending over $300K for a car, I suggest that you do a lot of hands on research.
Actually, I am suprised that this is an issue for you. The cars you are choosing between are so very different. Do you want a luxery car or a sports car? The 599 is a gentleman's Ferrari while the Scud is for hauling ***. You can't go wrong with either but most people come to the table wanting one style or the other.
Now if your dilemma was between the Scud and an LP640 or CGT that would be a closer call (not for me though - I would take the Scud). The Scud hits the sweet spot between the F40 and the 599. Whereas the F40 was a ***** to the wall race car experience, the 599 is a thing of subtle beauty. The Scud sits nicely right between them.
You are peaking early at 24-years old my friend. There is not much left after you get a Scud or a 599. I would say that only a McLaren F1, Enzo and Carrera GT even come close.

I vote Scud - but only if you actually will track it and use it for what it was meant for. If you want more a DD with tons of speed I think the 599 is the obvious choice.
This is more a debate of usage as they are apples and oranges.

the 430 scuderia is the one that is more exclusive and a collectors car. and i do have the roads and the spirit for driving the way it was made..(lets keep this between us)
the only reason that tempted me towards the 599 GTB was its awesome performance. [B]i dont really like its shape or its comfort level as i have others that can complement the same.[B] Also that there is a higher demand for the 599's than the scuderia and i thought therefore it is more exclusive.

Personally i'd sell the 997 turbo and get a GT2 and a 599 GTB!
Perhaps both of best worlds? Ultimate handling Porsche and ultimate luxury Ferrari?
Its not like you can track the car in Oman, the closest would be the autodrome in Dubai.
