To really say that any one of these cars is "better" than the other is purely an opinion. They each have their strengths and weaknesses relative to the others.

Honestly, at these power levels, AWD is a huge advantage, and makes the power much more useable for speeds most people will drive at 99.9% of the time. What you lose, is a bit of sterring sharpness and feel. It will always be a trade-off.

Porsche is priced the way it is because it is high-end product that also allows for a huge degree of customization in its build process. This would be true of any such product. High-end product + high degree of individualization = disproportionately high cost.

No question, that the M5 is the best value.
