If you would have purchased a manual 650, I wonder if you would have gone to the M2. The 650 is better in every way (including acceleration), except handling.

Hmmm, I'm not so sure I agree.
First off, no chance of an manual gran coupe here.
Second off, after having both, To me, 650 is not better in every way including handling (for one, the M2 seat blows away the seat in the GC in terms of comfort).
Third, I had an e60 M5 with stick. I did like it, but at some point, when the car gets that big, it just feels wrong with stick - well wrong is a bad term, but just not right?
Long story short, I have some very tight low speed turns on my way to work. With the 650 being so darn long, I had to wait until there were no cars coming either direction when making a right turn - because it was almost impossible to stay out of the oncoming traffic lane when making a right turn.
and yes, like I said, I did enjoy my 650 (mostly in the last 6 months), but it was certainly time for something new
