Went to RS5, let me tell you this car is an animal on take-off, slow corners and roundabouts.

And there is no feel lost with the RS5, this is very similar car with the E92 M3, just with improved traction...if you really push the RS5 mid-corners it goes in oversteer big time, until the front wheels cath-up the traction.
You have done the same path I was going to take. Modded 335, M3, and now RS5.

Do you find the RS5 fast enough? I have been doing a lot of research on the RS5 too. The reports are pretty good and comparable to the E92 M3, except for steering feel. I may have to trade that off for traction and winter/bad weather benefits - your thoughts on this?

You feel you are losing anything going to a RS5?
