I would not describe the CP ride as harsh at all...unless you plan to drive on really bad roads on the stiffest setting (Sport+). There is plenty of chassis room between Comfort and Sport+ mode. I would just call Sport and Sport+ modes increasingly firm. I use Sport+ for the most part and it's great (though lots on this board prefer Sport).
I think CP is worth it. The exhaust is better too. It's not on par with some of the great exhausts that folks on this board are running, but I think it is a good compromise. Sometimes I don't want a loud car (e.g. driving early in the morning through residential neighbourhoods) whereas most of the time I want to hear the crazy engine. I find it to be a good compromise exhaust (though it could certainly be louder and MEANER in WOT driving). Sure CP is expensive, but I think it takes the M5 up that last 10% in terms of driving dynamics. I run black 343s so the CP wheels were irrelevant to me.
