Keep your 4 cyl!!! You will need it when the S80 is at the dealer for dealer only repairs. The electronics are terrible. The T6 engine isn't that good either, it tends to overheat if you look at it funny.
All "new" engines are interference, that is why the T belt must be changed. And changing isn't that bad.
Have you looked at any S60s with the 5 cylinder? Or any S70s? There is a reason why Volvo dropped the T6 and replaced it with the 3.2 this year. They lost too many long time customers.
