If you want to indulge in a regular rev fest go for the 748.
It's not only a power thing, a 998 with have a lot more torque to catapult you down the road without having a million revs on the tacho. It may well be a as lot less frantic to ride.
A 748r will get you a fair few more goodies chassis wise, maybe ohlins front and rear and maybe 4 pad calipers.
One factor may well be the cost of insurance, I know of a fair few that have gone for a 748 cos it saved them a packet on insurance, might be worth checking that out to see if that applies to your situation.
Difficult call.
