I agree with you that logically torque is the thing, and the AMG's (tiny in your terms) 5.4 V8 delivers this in spades.
To me a sports car should be about revs though- that and the accompanying metallic howl.
If it sounds good - and it will on ITBs - then it'll sound just as good at 8krpm as it does at 9. I'd go for the 4 litre as well as long as it'll hit 8krpm reliably.
