Alpina B7 or Audi S8

Guys I need some help. We are looking to replace our aging X5 MSport with a full size luxury performance sedan. After test driving the S8 and reading the reviews I was pretty set on leaving the brand for an Audi. However since it has to be a lease and running the numbers, the Alpina is a much better deal to the tune of $330 dollars a month cheaper. Why you say? Because of the horrible residual of the S8 (40% at 3 yrs) vs the Alpina B7 (56%). And the sad part is the Alpina has MSRP $23500 higher. Please chime in. BTW this would be my 6th BMW in the last 6 years.

Peace,
Noushy
