Default S6 or RS4.... can't decide

I have the opportunity to pick up either of these cars used at a great price (both Audi certified). The S6 has more miles on it than the RS4. I am really struggling over which one I want to purchase. I am a bit nervous over the fact that the RS4 doesn't have a spare tire. On the flip side, the S6 has more wear on it. I find them to both be amazing vehicles. The price for the two cars is nearly identical and isn't helping in making the decision.

What would you do? I need someone to kick me in the right direction!

I apologize in advance for cross posting between the S6 and RS4 forums but want to hear both sides.

Default highway or city/back-roads driving?

S6 for the first, RS4 for the second.

The RS4 is a race car, the S6 is a bigger race car. But if I were you, choose the RS4 for urban speed and agility, while the S6 would be good on highways.

Default Size and Stick

I've had both S4 and now S6. RS4 is really super-fun but pretty small on the inside. S6 larger in and out, still lots of fun, but no 6-speed.
If you have kids, car seats or friends larger than 5ft, the 4's back seat dosn't fit well. That said, your choice is between two really great cars. Good luck either way!
