If i where in your place i would go for a proper system ideally active damping so you can tune it much better.
The AMG system is good but ultimately like everything that gets produced today is a compromise a system with fixed rates that has to cope with normal day to day driving and harder track use with more bias toward the day to day, an active system would allow you to set the car up for on road use and then change the setup to allow for hard on track driving.
Bilstein make the PASM system used on Porsche's and its very good indeed.
Can't really answer 1b mate thats a very personal choice certainly if it was something within your reach and being seriously considered i would encourage you but can't really make the call for ya.
