Based on your original post that you are looking for something finer than M205, I would go with SF4500. SF4000 is pretty close to M205 on the polishing cut chart.
SF4000 finishes identicle in gloss to SF4500, but SF4000 gets there faster.
Interesting. I only ask because M205 can't seem to get out micro scratches on my dad's 2004 BMW 325i. Figure finer is better but from what you say no real added benefit from SF4500
Either of those polishes should get out "micro scratches" so i don't really understand. You may not be finishing out the polish correctly. May want to look up Mike's technique for that.
As far as the correct Menzerna i would look at the chart on AG

I had the same issues with M205 not finishing out properly on my '07 jet black 335i. I tried out Wolfgang FG and it finished out flawless.
I put my vote on SF4000 or FG with a white pad. Either one will give you the needed cut to pull out any micro marring while finishing out to an impeccable standard.
For me SF4500 is reserved after a round of SF4000 to extract the maximum gloss from the paint.
