You'd have to discount against all the other f15's that have them. Personally resale is low priority. I want to live with this car for the next 7 years so it has to fit me and the family, I mention resale cos the seat price is clearly an irritant to you- they are pricey.

Ultimately comes down to personal priority based on past experience. I never even cared about seats in the past. It was engine, gearbox, sat nav, color, etc. then I experienced the 330 seats, lost $20k in 12 months, and now wouldn't buy a car without fully testing the seats again.
Your point is very valid...we selected the CS and crossed it out 3 times...lol
if I had the extra G's I would have probably selected it...I still have some time to rethink this through...as mine is a Diesel and the production won't start until Jan.

I still like to hear everyone's opinion and make the right decision...I also hear your point around investment and resell...I think this car will be with me for at least 4-5 years...but on the other hand, I don't want to keep it that long that it becomes worthless for resell...I liked your view on resell (with CS)
