Don't know what to tell you. You seem to be hellbent in your denial about the RS5. One day you'll have to accept that Audi "S" models pretty much as of 2010 are optional engine trims. In the past they used to compete with M and AMG models, but not anymore. Quattro Gmbh is pumping out more than one RS model at the time now and the "S" models are simply the top engine trim of the Audi volume models. The S5 was Audi's answer to the 335 Coupe and now it is to the 435.
I don't know how many RS5 you have seen in person, especially a Panther Black one sparkling under the California Sun for example, but an RS5 commands quite a presence up close compared to a stock S5. I did European Delivery and it attracted as much attention in Europe as it did here.
Women are attracted to design and looks. In this particular case, this one wasn't drooling over the sports car aspect of the RS5. She was commenting on the beautiful design and that Audi knows how to design cars. No woman so far that complemented the car has ever commented on any of the performance aspects of the car. My wife drives a sunflower yellow VW Beetle. You know why? Because it looks cute. It drives like a dog.

RS5 will be waaaaay better daily driver, more practical, but never even close to the performance of a 911, particularly a TT. most of all the specific differences have been conveyed, it boils down to if you want a sports car or a very sporty, very nice, great sounding sports coupe.
hate to even mention it, but if you want to bridge the gap closer, the new F80/82 M3/4 might be considered. if you're like me however, it would not be an option as i'm pretty loyal to the audi/Porsche family.
if you can wait years, the next 5 series should be stunning, though no guarantee there will be an RS version which would follow towards end of life for that version. audi would server themselves well to release RS versions at the front of life cycle.
