Basically the A048's will give quite a lot more grip when warm, but won't be as progressive as the AVs's when they do go. The Exige I'm running has the A048s and it has loads of grip but drops off very rapidly on the limit. Difficult to learn/catch unless you're a pretty good driver.
Other differences: AVS will be better in the wet (more tread), and will wear much slower.
If you're a decent driver and will be mainly driving it in warm dry weather go for the A048s. If you want to learn, or drive in the cold/wet get the AVS's.
