That's all well and good if it's your thing but I find more sober discussion on this site, albeit a bit slower in arriving.
I feel the same way. While I check in on AZ, it has a completely different feel. It is filled with boy racer wannabes. I prefer AW.

Make it three. Much harder to find just C7/A6 info there. To many other models included in one section.

I also prefer the styling of the 15', and at first regretted getting the 16' even with all of the upgrades. But now I'm grateful I didn't go for the 15'. The power increase (3.0T) is alone worth it, and of course all of the tech upgrades make a big, big difference. However, I never, ever use the map display on the cockpit display, it's just too small and awkward to look at when you're driving. And you'll definitely want to go with the 3.0T over the 2.0T. That's a no brainer. If you're stuck on getting a Prestige over a Premium Plus then be aware that there's a lot more to go wrong, to break, to be serviced, and four wheel alignments are going to cost at least twice as much with the Prestige. That being said, I do kinda wish I had the HUD, and the seats on the Prestige are much, much more comfortable.

interesting. Just by coincidence I’ve been looking at both sites the last couple days and said the exact same thing to myself.

I'm in a similar situation as the OP. From 2012 to 2015, were there any significant changes worth considering during that period?
And my other concern is the carbon build up issue. Was anything updated with the 2016 3.0 to help with this problem? I thought I read somewhere that manufacturers were going to dual fuel injectors to solve this, one in the cylinder head and a second in the intake tract.

And regarding the bump in horsepower, is the difference that discernible?

Thanks!

difference is in fact noticeable. I think it’s even noticeable between the 333hp and the 340hp versions. I have the 2016 333hp version and wish I’d waited for the 340
