Congrats!
It's gotta be a pleasure to drive!
I bet you'd also be saving money on gas too.. Does the "S" make that much of a difference?

as compared to a C63 non-S? Stock for stock yes. Tuned, no.
No. Thats not how one should buy cars.

I've been driving the E43 now for a while and I want to feel more like batman instead of Bruce Wayne.

I now know what of the two cars are better but I want to know how each of the two cars makes you feel.

2014 C63 507 (sold), 2017 C63S Coupe
I've owned both....C63S is more technologically advanced, better appointed and quicker. All of that being said the 507 made me smile in a way that the C63S never did. So strictly from the point of view of "how did it make me feel" it's the 507 and it isn't even close.

I've had both and there are pluses to both. For me, I'd say the W205 overall is the winner. It wins heavily on interior and exterior styling. You have a much wider rear to run a wider set up. I have the coupe and run 20x11.5's in the rear on 295's. Could probably squeeze 305's if I wanted. My biggest complaint with my 507 was having to run such a narrow set up.
As for the 507, that NA sound is outstanding. The W205 with Performance Exhaust still sounds great but not on the level of the 507. Both cars are a lot of fun to drive.

I’ve had both and my opinion is the 205. More refined car and the interior with performance seats wins hands down. Also feel the m177 doesn’t have the issues the m156 has...cams/adjusters/buckets/etc....

I was having the same dilemma and ended up going with the S. I had a little bit more fun driving it, and I'm also a fan of the interior as well

I've also owned both. The 507 is more raw, you really feel the car and cannot, or should not, just drive it like a camry -- it's a beast. And you just cannot beat that NA 6.2 exhaust note--it's as good as it gets. I sold my 507 a while back and now have a C63S. The C63S probably faster, smoother, and like the previous poster said more technologically advanced. I missed my 507 so much I went looking for another but ended up buying a clean 2014 C63 and threw a tune in it.
When I tell people I own a 2016 C63S and a 2014 C63, they don't understand why. But the two cars really have different personalities. One is more of a raw, angry sledgehammer of a beast, the other is a more refined beast with a more subdued stock exhaust note--even with the flaps open in my opinion.
Can't go wrong with either one.

507 is a pretty special car, and as you might guess I love the 204. To me they are two different approaches to a similar end, with the 205 obviously having the benefits that come with newer model years.

While gathering data points of the pros and cons of each car is understandable, the subjective question of how it makes someone on the internet feel depends on unquantifiable factors that may not apply to you.
Best would be to test both and see which fizzles your pop more
