SLS or R231 SL63 AMG?

I currently own. 2013 SL 63 AMG and it is a great car. I use it as my DD and it does it all.Had an SL 55 AMG prior and the 63 trumped it in all respects. However, I am very interested in possibly moving into an SLS vert. Anybody have experience in either driving or possibly owning each? Interested in your thoughts about the differences. I am inclined to think that quite possibly the SL63 is actually the better driving experience based on reviews, but naturally I could be completely wrong in this assumption as reviews can be significantly different than what I woud personally experience. I do love the look of the SLS and the exclusivelty of it, although I rarely see another SL63 on the road! Any input would be appreciated.

I'm a big fan of the Roadster! The car has no compromises.. Cant compare but, only 884 sold in the USA.

Are you in Newport Beach, CA? I am in LA and also in the market. We should talk so we don't both try to buy the same car and kill our leverage on negotiation.
