I heard from an Audi reliable source up in Germany that S5 won't get a 7-Speed DSG due to V8 Engine size not allowing for a DSG gearbox to be mounted together, it can only be mounted in conjunction with the V6 block for some reason. So unless S5 goes with a 3.0T in the near future, I doubt we will see it in the V8 4.2 Engine.
I'd easily recommend the S5 over either A5 3.2 and definitely 2.0, 3.0t is great and all but the sound of the v8 and long legs are priceless. As for the DSG, the 4.2 gets 7-speed DSG, but that unit is probably alot more expensive as it can handle the HP and torque of the RS5. Probably, HP, as I think S4 and S5, have as much / more torque than the RS5, not HP of course, which is what determines speed, not torque.
