You really think the supercharger hardware weight nothing huh. Audi so far only state it will be lighter than the on going V8, but by how much is still unknown....

No one complained the sound of the B5 S4, but everyone compliments the sound of the B6 S4

The problem with the 4.2 in the S4 is despite being a v8 it had noooooo torque, and for a a car weighing 3800+ lbs. that doesn't help much. Of course the supercharger adds weight, what i don't know is what the block is made up of. If it's aluminum than it should be worth the liter decrease. And duh, the B6 S4 Avant in Nagaro Blue was a beautiful car in my eyes and still is, but i welcome the this new trend especially when mileage is such a downer for the current S4. 13mpg in the city are not what i want to deal with, and mid to low 20s on the highway, thats scary.
