I think the prestige trim provides more ambiance and features that puts the car on par with its price tag.
The car is damn near perfect in my book, but this is my first real Audi.
Based on OP's gripes, I think the 2010 A6 would be a better choice, and I don't see anything wrong with that. However, go out there and compare the A6 to the 5-series and E-class and I think you'll look past your gripes rather quickly.
My only observation is that the parking sensor audio doesn't match the corner in which the obstacle is displayed on MMI.
I also agree that B&O should be more affordable, but cars are not ideal listening environments. Someone on this forum once posed the question about whether or not an A6 B&O owner has invested the same or more amount in their home system first. I guess this is a good question, and I haven't invested $6k at home, so I left B&O off my list. But if I lived in an apartment or loft or someplace in the city, I could see B&O in the A6 as a nice thing to have.

My list is very short.
1. All models should come with the same climatronic controls found in the Prestige. It's stunning that I paid more for this car than I did my B8 S4, but I have climatronic controls that are inferior to the S4.
2. The Sports Package, in my opinion, should come with a seat that offers more bolstering. I'm pretty sure that's the case with the s-line package in the Q5...sure Audi could have thrown us a bone and slapped some better seats in the car with the Sports Package.
3. Black headliner should be standard. Minor quibble, but for those of us who purchased our cars off the lot, it's obviously frustrating to be stuck with the grey or whatever it is I have in my car.
Would I ditch the car because I don't have the above...hell no.

My biggest issue is with the steering wheel controls. I think it is cool to have the ability to control so much info in the DIS but there should be dedicated buttons for changing the station or the next track. This is something I do at a minimum 30 times everytime I am in the car. I use them more than even the volume control and it is the only car I have been in which does not have them. It drives me crazy.
