Is Multi contour seats worth it?

Hello everyone,
Currently, I am ordering new 2019 G500 and I trying to figure out whether to get multi contour seats option or not. Since, where I live, weather doesn't get too hot, so I dont think I ll be using cooling option of that seat, and Im not prioritizing more seat adjustments. Only, the massage feature is turning my head. So, is it worth the 3.7k$ for only massage? Can it really massage your body?
Multi contour seats vs Standard nappa leather seats????

For what it is worth, I like mine....
Pros:
-Ventilated seat (works great when used with heat, to keep you dry)
-several massage options, including both back and bottom
•Heated massage
•Bottom message
•Wave
•Interactive
•Shoulder
-Rapid heating element
-Active side bolsters (might be standard)
-Lumbar two-axis (might be standard)
-Electric seat bottom extension

Cons:
One (many) more thing to break
Expensive
Spilled stuff will go through vented seat cushions (latte bad)
Must use Command to access massage functions.

And I think the stock seat looks bad. I think they could have done a better job on the inlay design.

For what its worth, I rarely used the massage function on my S Class cars. I did like the active side bolster feature. That being said I would order the optional contour seats because, for me, they were more comfortable.
