The3.2 has been infinitely more fun, and with mpg between 22 and 25 hasn't actually been that much more to run than the 2.2. With dieselgate the prices of 2.4s seemed to have dropped through the floor - I'd go for one of those. 159 3.2s seem much rarer than the Breras but I'd recommend them over the other engines.
