Get what you like.
I have the light gray.
I have had 3 light gray interiors. All cleaned easily with the exception of the BMW 3 series convertible. That leather had a heavy grain so I had to use a brush to get the dirt out.
The Benz's leather is smooth with less grain so easy to clean.
I had the dog in the front seat, left foot prints. etc. One wipe with Lexol and the marks were gone.

Another consideration is space "feeling". With a black interior, you get that fighter pilot "feeling" as in a closed-in tight cockpit. With a light interior, you "feel" you have more elbow room.
I was a black interior fan for many years...many roadsters. The last three roadsters have been light and now I am a light interior fan. Personal taste...right?
And-so-it-goes.
