There's something to be said for getting what the primary driver of a vehicle would enjoy and actually use vs throwing money at extra performance purely for ego purposes. Not saying that's what you did, but a lot of people do.
As for it being too fast because someone can't properly get used to a gas peddle; that's a driver issue not a problem with the car.

Again car for car (apples to apples) there is no reason to go for a 228 over the 235 unless it's for budget reasons (which is perfectly valid).
