I’ve been looking at the Dravit with Cognac combo, but just did a build with Tartufo and it’s only $400 more (CDN). I assume Merino is higher quality/more comfortable and there are a few complaints with the standard seat, but my dealer doesn’t have any in stock to feel the difference. Is this a no brainer? Any downside (colour transfer?)

Thanks!

Merino is higher grade and is more comfortable for long drives. I have experience with both so I know the difference. But in the end you probably have to try it for yourself.

I would like to add that Merino is a bit more delicate over the vernasca leather. It’s softer so it lasts less and you have more wrinkles over time.

That is very true. Merino stretches after awhile but it's small tradeoff for me when it comes to comfort.

Nice car. Ordered mine 1 week ago with almost same setup. Made a google search to enjoy some pictures with my future car before and found this beauty.

I will have Dravit Grey with same black wheel's but with red callipers. Same interior but the extended version. I wasn't decided between M seats and Sport seat's. Glad i picked up Merino leather which wasn't availabe on the M seats. Altough M seats looked more appealing.

Dravit Grey is special colour. Enjoy the subtle colour shifts under different lighting. Didn't have the option of M Sport seats back then. Good that you have a choice now. They do look great but not having Merino leather to go with it is a real shame.
