V8V roadster or F430 - tough decision

[GG33]

Having finally arrived at the time in life when I can afford to own a very nice car, I'm finding it very difficult to choose between the two types listed in the title. Both would be roadsters (or spider) the AM would be manual whereas the 430 would be F1. They are both stunningly gorgeous to look at whereas the AM is probably the coolest automotive brand. I'm a little worried that the 430 says 'look at me'
I realise that there is a fair difference in performance between the two and the future values will vary somewhat.
What surprises me is that I cant actually decide...I would have thought that one or the other would really be getting me excited (they both do to some degree)but I seem to be able to talk myself into, or out of both.

Help....what do you think? What factors would make you choose?

I have also posted this in the Ferrari forum.

It's never going to be a Daily Driver, just for w/ends, high days, special trips etc.
Thanks for all the feedback...interesting...I've changed my mind five times already :-)

Well, it seems I am creeping into the budget numbers for an early V12V Coupe (the V12 Roadster is sadly strwetching it too far) This is just adding further to my confusion
