To be a little more specific, leather inserts are standard on all C Class sedans. As we know, the coupe has cloth as standard, and only has the premium leather upgrade available.
On the sedans, the insert is the same leather whether you get the premium upgrade or not. The premium upgrade includes leather on the side bolsters, headrests and door trim inserts. When I bought my C240 last summer, I saw the two interiors side by side, and when I did, I realized it was very difficult for anyone to tell the difference. The MB-Tex material used on the bolsters looks and feels very much like the leather counterparts. If someone is "in the know", there are 2 clues which set the two trims apart. First, there is double-row stitching around the outer parts of the seats and headrests on the premium interior which looks a little nicer. Also, the door trim panels are "gathered" rather than smooth. I'd suggest using the $1400 toward another option, like C1. Actually, I decided to add Xenons at the last minute and I didn't get C1 which I now somewhat regret.
