Thanks for highlighting the differences that I knew would quickly surface here.

I would agree that the combination of differences bring the overall price adjustment to be more of a wash with the moonroof being offset by the spoiler, climate control, directionals, display. As it is I didn't make any adjustment so my comparison remains the same.
