Default You are the perfect person to talk to :)
What clutch do you have? How many miles have you been running Stage III with that clutch? TIA

Default Having driven both (my) RS4 clutch and (Mark P's) Spec Stage 2 clutch...
I'd have to say that the Spec clutch feels at least as smooth and possibly smoother than the RS4 clutch. I have no complaints about the RS4 clutch & pressure plate, but if I had to do it again, I'd probably opt for the Spec clutch.

That's nice to know, and I'll keep it in mind. Thanks DAP when the time comes.

$500 vs. ~ $750 isn't quite "similar", but the Spec2 looks like a damn nice solution.
