The M2 is much more rounded. I have the manual M2 and the gearbox is night and day nicer to use as well.
I went pre-owned and higher mileage as I do less miles with multiple cars in the family only a few pounds a month more than the focus. I went for the best spec so got one with the mSport carbon diffuser, black grilles etc and the msport exhaust so made a tidy saving with 2 years warranty and the 5 year servicing on it as well. Just got to pay for batteries for the bluetooth dongle as I use it alot.
Enjoy best decision I have made in ages.

Sounds like a great choice. I had 2 (!) RSs in order but ended up cancelling both. Couldn't quite do it after 15 years of BMW
