C230 - Aftermarket leather vs. Factory installed
I know alot of dealer who have cloth cars are pushing aftermarket installation locally versus waiting and having it come in from Germany. Are there big quality differences between the two?

Benzo doesn't think so. He got his from Classic Soft Trim. I'm going to be getting mine from there as well, sometime in the near future. I looked at their leather, and it's very high quality. I ordered mine in July, so I couldn't get leather, but I don't think that I would have ordered it anyway. I'm not a big fan of either color choice.
With CST (and others), you can get any color combo you want, plus other options, for $1500 or so. Factory is $1400, unless you get c5, which is a good price for the option bundle.
If you do go aftermarket from the dealer, make sure that they're not charging you much over $1500, and don't forget that you choose what colors/options you get on the leather, not them.
