A5 3.2L Q vs TTS

I'm just curious as to what people would choose seeing as the TTS has a similar price to the A5. It's a hard choice to make because the TTS has excellent handling etc, however the A5 has a lot of space and comfort to it. Also, would the TTS get better fuel economy than the 3.2L Q A5?
I've driven an A5 and its really great in my opinion, it felt extremely comfortable and relaxing to drive but it had a sporty character to it as well. It seems like the kind of car you can drive along happily in for extended periods of time whether it be in traffic or the open road. I haven't driven a TTS, but I have been in one, visibility isn't as good and it seems like it would be a more engaging drive as a pose to a relaxing cruise. Am I right about my statements?
Thanks

A5 is a GT before it's a sports car. Like you said, I can see some people cross-shopping both despite they're being aimed at different needs/markets.

I've looked at both ... yes, they are different and yet both appeal to me.
For me the problem with the TTS is Audi's decision to only offer S-Tronic. Otherwise that would be a no-brainer for me. (And, yes, it does have better fuel economy, too.)
A5 3.2 has a lot of appeal but I really would rather have a turbo than a V6. So if this rumoured A5 2.0T does make an appearance, that might end up being my car of choice.

I'm thinking though, that the manual TTS would probably be better to drive, because the A5 is not available with manual transmissions where I am. Its a real shame because a manual A5 would be excellent, but as crespo said there is possibly a manual 2.0T A5 comming. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
