A4 : 1.8T & 2.8 back to back ?

[Gregory Deschodt <GXD@synon.com>]

Has anyone tried both versions back to back ?  (1.8T Q and V6 Q) 
If so I'd be interested in your impressions. 
I'll most likely trade in my golf VR6 (172 hp V6 on a lighter body) and
I don't want to feel like I am loosing too much power.  I have been
pleasantly susprised by the low end pull of the turbo on an automatic
model but could not get my hands on a manual 1.8T or V6, so I don;t
really know how they stack up.  Thanks in advance.

Greg.
