Before I leased my M550i I actually wanted an S5 Sportback, but I didn't for a few reasons.
1) very slow compared to the M550i, especially top-end.
2) the interior felt a bit cramped (i'm 6'3")
3) dealers didn't really want to lease the car out - really? reputable audi sales rep on leasehackr refused to quote me for an S5 Sportback lol
M550i vs S5 is no question, M550i is superior in many ways.
M550i vs RS5? The RS5 is a bit more unique though, and in stock form I think is even a hair faster than the 2018/2019 M550i straight line. I am sure handling wise the RS5 will smoke the M550i as well, and feel a lot tighter and tossable; this is an M3/M4 Competition competitor end of day. Audi also has the self drive in traffic conditions, which I use so much on a daily basis commuting to and from work in my M550i. But since this a daily driver (over 15k miles a year), the M550i is a lot more comfortable. I think ultimately would depend if you want a tight, cramped, tossable car that is fun around the corners or highway bullet that lofts and is comfortable.
