Questions before placing order

I was hoping that some members could chime in on their thoughts on the following:

1) For those with the B&O sound system, are you happy with it? Did you compare it to the Harmon Kardon system? Would you buy it again if you were starting over?

2) I am thinking of doing a Designo order for a reddish hued leather. Can you do that or do you have to customize more than just the leather colour? Does anyone know the cost on Designo? So far I have only been told that "it starts at $2000"

3) Do the seats actually have a massage feature, or is it simply the active bolstering?

Thanks!

I compared b&o to hk in s550 at the dealer. Difference clearly noticeable esp at higher volume. It convinced me to order it.

The designo leather option is 1800$ in canada but no red besides mystic wich is really dark. It is a standalone option. I'm sure you could get the performance studio to do you a red but will be more expensive.

If you go designo expect 2 month delay. I was pushed back from jan 5th to march 5th because of it.
