Audi TT - should I buy a Mk2 or Mk3?

Should I buy a five month old ex-demo 2015 Audi TT Quattro S-Tronic for £35k (RRP 43K) or should i go for a fully loaded low mileage 2012 Audi TTS for £25k?

I plan to keep the car for three years and drive 8000 miles a year. Which offers the best value. I have driven both and like both, although the Mk2 interior seems a little dated.

The 2012 will probably have then old engine. Better the EA888 manifold in head engine with indirect as well as direct injection.

Enjoyable to drive. Nicely detailed cabin. Impressive engines. Frugal TDI available. TTS is a great performance car. Very few reported problems over seven years.
Still looks sharp with a fantastic interior. Good to drive and strong engines.
