Definitely go find one to drive. I've got an M5 and have driven an F430. I love the M5 for its trip comfort, speed, power, sound, etc. I liked the F430 for its raw feel, sound, curb appeal. I'd take the M5 for its ability to do so many things so well, IMHO.

Excellent comment. You hit the nail on the head.
But regarding the original question...talk about apples & oranges.
