Also the cost difference between Sport and M Sport not that big if you upgrade to leather. With the Sport the leather upgrade is about 1100 IIRC but if you upgrade to leather in the M Sport the cost to upgrade is about half of that (due to the fact that M Sport already has high spec alcantara seats compared to the Sport) so actual upgrade difference on that alone is only about £600.

With that in mind the 18" wheels, Estoril blue and other bits and pieces it makes the decision for me at least a no brainer to go to M Sport over the Sport

I do like the 17" dark allows on the Sport version, but all in all a no brainer...
This coincides with my experience (more correctly: my spreadsheet) as well. I feel I got the M styling kit for free, since I would have upgraded either the base model or the sport model to this level anyway.
To me the M styling was decisive, not the colour!
