Now you confused me again In that article (hadn't read that part before) it says that the free (grrr) option 'sports suspension' increases the dynamic but without loosing comfort (no idea how that can be possible though, seems to defy the laws of physics). So the SS sounds like the better solution for the R8 and probably for the RS as well as it's free, faster and doesn't offer worse comfort than the MR.

Plus I remember that a common notice on other TT reviews was that the MR was rather similar in sports and normal mode, i.e. both settings were described as rather hard by many testers. Which makes the actual advantage of the MR even smaller if that's still the case with the RS.

So I guess I'm back at square one: what exactly do I get for the 1100 euros that I wont get with the SS?

Damn, I wish Audi would just hand out both versions to the press for an afternoon to help people decide on this.
