This is why I did not consider it. Ground clearance is a huge issue where I'm going, as many people have S2 on their drive-ways bordering the paved road. At times, aside from being a semi-loose traction surface, the S2 can sink below road-level if not maintained perfectly. AWD and more than 5-6" ground-clearance make pulling onto the road in a hurry (or at all) VERY easy compared to not. The full-time AWD in the Jeep will be a godsend even in fair-weather, as I discovered last time I took my 370Z up there and encountered what I described. The drive-way to my land is currently S2 and has seen better days. My 370Z did not do well.
