Default Newbie with 45K to blow!

New Audi browser here. Wife's A5 has me eyeballing some new swag!
Current options I'm mulling over are as follows:
Option 1 on the lot 2015 A5 with premium plus, sport plus, s-line and sport packages.
Sticker's 49+ and dealer is 47+

Option 2 is ordering a new S3 sedan with
Option codes:
WPT Prestige
PPZ Advanced technology Package
PPT 19" Performance package
sticker would be 49,900 with unknown dealer reduction (probably none since I'm ordering it) still trying to decide how badly I want magnetic ride since it comes with Summer tires.....

Option 3 is a fully maxed out A3 prestige with ALL the bells and whistles.
Sticker is around 46+

I've driven my wife's A5 (all season tires) with only 208HP and absolutely love it. Would the A3 be just as fun with 12 more ponies and no mag ride? I know it's not a coupe, but I may want to get up on it every once in awhile. Or, should I eliminate the A3 and focus on the 5 and S3??

Thanks everyone and RIP Mr. Robin Williams

Option 4:

Buy used and save yourself some cash, so you can get something like this:

^^^ exactly the right idea. Skip the brand new car and save purchase money as well as the initial depreciation. Even look for a 1-2 year old CPO A5 2.0T and chip it - it REALLY wakes the car up.
