premium leather worth the extra cost

Hey everybody looking at a 550 coupe can't decide on regular leather or premium leather have not seen premium leather in person is there a big difference in the two. I know the premium leather is softer but is it worth the extra $1370.00. If anyone has premium leather I like know your thoughts.

Thanks

You may not have the option as it available in only certain colors. I think red and the natural/black is not available.

I have it, but I wouldn't recommend it for most buyers. Other than the double stitch in the door panel, you have to REALLY be paying close attention to tell much of a difference even when you are comparing between two cars side by side. Others might feel differently, but I was actually a bit disappointed that there wasn't more of difference.
