Congrats on your new gun! I think you'll really enjoy your P09, it has a nice SA trigger.
You chose a great gun! I personally lean towards striker fired, like the PPQ, probably because I have A LOT more trigger time on those.
As far as NOT buying a Glock because EVERYONE has one... I GET IT. It's the same thing when you go to buy a car. If you could choose between a grey Honda Accord and an Orange Something Something... sometimes you don't want the Honda! Is it reliable, proven, popular, cheaper to repair, YES! Do you want to park next to 5 others at the grocery store? NO!
Sometimes when you go to the range you want a guy to look over and say "dude, what's that? That thing looks awesome!" vs. "I have a Glock too"

Congrats on your purchase. Now you see the importance of test-firing both!
Just a few questions/comments about your comparisons:
This may be the first time I've ever heard this comment in relation to a CZ versus an Ulm-made Walther. Both are high-quality pistols, but the machining one the Ulm-made Walthers tends to be pretty much flawless. I see that the P07s now have nitrided slides, which is most certainly an upgrade over the previously painted CZ slides.
Just a few questions/comments about your comparisons:
Please explain. This doesn't really make much sense. Loading and clambering these pistols is identical. The PPQ doesn't require decocking before holstering like the P07.
Totally understand if you are not considering carry.
It's bigger.
Mechanically, accuracy of these two will be about identical. The P99/PPQ is inherently a very accurate pistol, but you personally shoot the P07 better. This again shows the importance of test-firing.

Fishbed, thanks for writing
I guess we all have different feel of guns.
To some ppl the CZ-09 might seem big, I'm a taller guy with basketball hands so it felt better
When I fired, the rounds seem to be much tighter in radius than the PPQ
Nothing with this comparison is an exact scientific breakdown
I shot only 50 rounds thru both the PPQ and CZ P09
I'm a guy that I can literally tell after a few rounds...doesn't take long for me to know if I like I gun
What I did was load 2 mags each of PPQ and the CZ P09
I took fired one, then went to other, then back to original, then back to other
I believe I started with the PPQ
Also remember, it was NOT the PPQ M2 but rather M1
The range didn't have the M2

There are numerous firearms on the market that are equal to or better in some ways then the two you mentioned. It really depends on the expected use of the gun... As a range gun or home defense or concealed carry etc...
I have owned more than 30 handguns over the last 3 decades and there is always something I learn anew about reliability n quality. Fir conceal carry purposes I have not found any better than the Smith N Wesson Shield.
As for range guns n or home defense there are no guns that are going to surpass( equal maybe) these guns.
Beretta M9
Sig P226
Sig P320
FNS tactical
The longer u look into these the more you will see that these are difficult to surpass for accuracy, reliability , quality n proven track records . The M9 in paricular along with the Sig P226 has undergone strenuous torture over the years n just continues to be reliable for law enforcement n military
