Do you want a dealership hotrod MCS or a real factory JCW? There is a BIG difference and I know as I have owned both.
Whilst the MCS has a JCW "kit" installed it is a good performer, it CANNOT compare with the TRUE factory JCW. The engine internals are very different for a start and you could go on &on.
Do some extensive research ,cost comparisons,and drive one of each and then go with the best value.
Personally I'd go for the REAL JCW but that's me.

As I found out, clean, factory stock, JCW R58's and R59's are a bit hard to find with low mileage these days. If you are wanting any specific options/packages, the chase will be even more difficult. In the end everyone compromises somewhere as there just aren't a lot of these around. The one thing I would not compromise on though is the factory JCW package with the N18 engine. It is a seriously different car in every area that counts.
