Default Gents advice please, should i swap my S2 for a Audi S3

Gents,

The long and short of it is this, I have a very clean Diamond white G plater S2 RS, its running a systems 2 litre engine from Power Eng, with all the trimmings, fmic, cossie discs, etc.
Its been welded on the arches and recently resprayed . (i am a family man now)
Heres the dilemma,
A good friend of mine wants to swap his clean Audi S3 w plate in silver for mine, his is running the 210bhp engine, and is totally standard with History, should i throw my ford towel in, or walk away....

Neither cars are daily drivers, just weekend toys...

if its just a weekend toy i would personally keep the RST....

main reason being, S3's are soo common compared to S2's so wouldnt feel as special when you go out for a spin i dont think...

I would think the S2 is more of a weekend car, cheaper to run and is going to retain better value over time.

S2 would be the keeper imo.
