Looks like a great build to me. One thing is to read the thread on the Easy-entry feature and the headrest problems. Also, if you live in a cold climate might want to consider heated rear seats.

Your build is pretty similar to mine. I was also originally going to go with the Porcelain seats but reading around a bit and seeing how white they were made me change to the Auburn brown and I have to say that I really like those seats and how they go with the satin ash wood that you have as well.
Definitely check out the head rest issue as mentioned before. I actually tried to remove it from my order but they weren't able to do it (so at least I didn't pay for it). Turns out it doesn't bother my kids at all and the power fold is nice to have. Still, it sure looks like a bad design.
I didn't get them but also the sunshades seem to have mixed reviews.
I think the only thing I would add now if I did it over again, and that you don't have listed either, is the heated 2nd row. I live in SC so I just didn't worry about it, but there are still a lot of times where throwing the heated seats on is nice and in the front row the seats have everything so why not give the kids some love too.
