For your intended usage, I think the R8 stands above the rest except for the 911. Get it in manual unless you're getting a newer one after they updated the automatic. It's going to be more of an event to drive, better for city driving, practical enough, and has the torque you're looking for.

Second choice is the 911. Honestly you could toss a coin between the two - pick the one that looks better to you. Or sounds better.

The car I would buy (and did) was the GT4. But you don't want a track oriented car, you've owned multiple Caymans, and it doesn't have as much torque. So it doesn't sound like it's exactly what you want.

The Vantage looks and sounds amazing, but is a mess to drive. I found the FType to be too numb, but it might be ok if you want the full GT experience and not too much connection with the machine. The R8 will be sharper without being as hardcore as a GT4. The FType exhaust also irritates me with all the fake overruns, and the interior isn't as well made as it should be.
