Only option I'm really stuck on is the leather, because a) I think it looks better and b) leather should be easier to clean when I have kids in the near future. But, for the sake of saving a few thousand on the price, I'm about to give up and go with the cloth.

So the question is, how do people feel about their cloth seats? How do you feel about the leather? Have spills on the cloth been hard to take care of or surprisingly easy to clean? Any gripes against the leather?

And the last variable, has anybody done aftermarket leather? Problems? Suggestions?
