Obviously you own a Lambo and are in a much better place to put your opinion across than I am. I'm just over 6 feet tall and weigh about 180 and I just found it difficult to get comfortable in the Gallardo. I think the Ferrari would have been the same had the top been up but as it was the top was down so we won't know.
For me the Porsche is an outstanding car, everything about it was great. What I noticed with the Gallardo was that the racing line had to be a bit different due to the handling. I had to go in deeper to get round corners etc whereas the Porsche and Aston Martin just went in and out of the corners with no hassle whatsoever. I would love another crack at a Lambo of course to see if I change my mind. I just can't get over how good the Aston Martin was tho.

No question Porsche is a great car. I still have a 911Carrera cabrio and a CayenneS and the cabrio is fantastic to drive. The thing about 911's are the limits come up real quick. The line between hitting the apex perfectly and doing a couple of 360's or worse is very narrow. The width and the center of gravity on the Lambo is so different than Porsche I find it's a lot easier to drive the Lambo fast.
All that being said. If I were only going to have one car. It would be the Porsche. The Lambo is not a great around town car because of that width and ground clearance. It's heavier steering at slow speeds is also an issue. The Lambo really does come alive on a fast twisty road. The Porsche works great everywhere. I could drive it cross-country.
I've not owned an Aston(yet)
