Off the top of my head:
Sport = yellow ambient light
Classic = white ambient light (not 100% sure on this)
Progressive = light blue ambient light.

I have the 2017 e class with the digital dash. All I can tell you is you will regret not getting it. The wait shouldn't stop you. Trust me, if you are going to spend that much on a car, get all you want. There shouldn't be any question or sense of regret in your mind each month you make that car payment. You should do it with a smile knowing you got what you wanted. Last thing you want is the same car with the digital dash pulling up beside you in traffic and making you feel like ****. Trust me I've done that to so many base model W213 owners and the look of dissatisfaction on their faces when they glance into mine and see the digital dash is priceless. Don't be that person, I'll find you an pull up right beside you. Ha!!!

Even if I didn't personally care about the digital dash, a huge factor for me would be ease of resale. In 2-5 years people are going to be looking at these on the 2nd hand market and metaphorically walking past those without the digital dash. It happens with the pro nav on the F10 5 series for example.
If you're leasing and don't care about that then fine, but if you're looking at a PCP whereby you could feasibly buy the car and keep it, I'd not be getting one without the digital dash as nobody will want it unless it's bargain basement.

Just curious if anyone that has the analog screen and wish they opted for the digital version. I know it's personal preference but I been going back and forth on this. I checked it out and really didn't feel I would play around with after that new feeling is gone.
The other side of me just thinks it looks so cool paired with the other screen. Do I risk possible delays waiting for the screen? Just something else to consider. Just looking for you all personal thoughts. Anyone unhappy with the digital display?

P.S.
Apparently you can retrofit if you do go analog. I have no idea if the replacement is OE or after-market (and what effect that might have on MB warranty). Does make one wonder how you can get an OE replacement when they are in short supply in new car inventories.
