Anyone gone from Cooper S to JCW?

I’ve currently got a 66 plate Cooper S with the manual gearbox and am considering swapping to a three year new JCW with the 8 speed automatic. Anyone else made a similar upgrade? Were you happy with the change?

It’s convertibles in my example but I’m sure the hatch would be close enough.

Nice to see this bumped. I didn’t make a change in the end as I couldn’t find a car with the spec I wanted
The chip shortage meant that Mini had removed the HUD and HK audio upgrade options for a while, but the slightly newer cars are just coming down to the price it’d want to pay.
