I love the current E63S more than the M5 so the wagon is just the icing on the cake. Add on top that AMG engines sound better, has a RWD drift mode, and the car as a whole is more understated than the RS6, and I prefer the classy looks, its definitely my choice.

I'm gonna try to check out the RS6 when it comes out, but in the end I think I'd prefer an E63S, plus the rumors for the RS6 is that they'll be limiting sales/production.
The Benz looks like any other Benz of the past 10 years while the Audi looks mean, menacing and amazing. Never been a fan of either but RS6 over E63S and it's not even close.

Never said I didn't care for the Audi's styling, its one of its best features. I said I don't care for the touch screen and all gloss black interior (one big deal breaker especially with my slight OCD), and I don't care for the general "Audi-ness" of it, aka, understeer and engine being too far up front, weak exhaust, lack of RWD mode, etc.

I like the way the Benz looks. Its classy and understated, I could care less if it looks like the past 10 years of Merc wagons, in my opinion its a handsome and understated vehicle, and nobody knows it has a fantastic AMG V8 under the hood unless they're a car enthusiast, plus I've driven the E63S and prefer it to that of an M5 and previous RS7, and will likely prefer it to the new RS6/7 based on reviews and would be very happy to get one, thus why it made my list, it checks off all of my boxes. Just not a fan of Audi's.
