Need help/recommendation tonight

I got a call from another local dealer that has a diamond white / saddle brown leather available that I can pick up tomorrow. My build is very similar, but won't be here until October 4th. They are about $300 different.

what would you rather have

A. Ambient lighting and designo diamond white
Or
B.) polar white with ventilated and contour seats?

Here's my other thread with the build I'm waiting on. https://mbworld.org/forums/new-m-cla...ry-oct4th.html

Waiting sucks but if buying and not leasing, I would seriously consider the one w/ the ventilated seats (hope for no issues). I think the seats would net a higher return upon resale than the paint.

I decided to wait on my polar white order. The diamond didn't have the running boards, although they offered to put them on later for free.

Go with polar white. Diamond white is harder to repaint and match. Also I prefer to order a car the exact way I want it. My GLE 300d is on order and will be built the third decade of September to my exact specs.

Go with B... I've had a number of models with ventilated seats, including my current ML550, and have had no issues.
