SLK vs BMW Z4

Hello, my Z4 sport lease is up next month (It is my wife's car) and she wants an SLK. Have anyone here owned both and can give me feedback? I test drove an SLK 280 and it feels more civilized than the Z4, but iit does not feel fun, the engine sounds stressed when you rev it up, etc. Kind of a C class with 2 doors and no rear seats. If I go with the SLK it will probably be the 350.

So, any comments about Z4 vs SLK and about SLK 280 vs SLK 350?

Thanks

Who cares of the SLK 280 is slow and not fun, its for ur wife and she wont know the difference. Both my mom and my ex gf told they like the drive of their ML430 more than my CLK430. My car is faster and handles a million times better than the ML but they think their car is better. Girls
