I'd buy the vehicle that is incoming and if you really want the other, trade the first when it arrives and call it a day 
Eiger was my 2nd choice after black (which I own), Hakuba was a distance third... to each their own.

Would be a lot easier but it's being shipped to a new dealership. They have a list of incoming vehicles with model, trim, color, and price but they won't have Vista access until they actually open. I have a chance to go once they get it and decide on the spot. Trying to think it through a little first.

Jaguar Orlando at Millennia is adding Land Rover and moving into a new facility. Not to be confused with Land Rover Orlando. It opens soon. Vehicle is waiting to be delivered.

Thank you!
Interesting that it doesn't match the list they have. SE vs. HSE, $85k sticker vs. $68k. No idea what I'm walking into now.

Haven't read all the comments and lists of options, but I would absolutely not accept an off-the-lot vehicle of this price unless it had every option I wanted and none I actively didn't. So I would keep the ordered one on order and when it came in, that would be my truck.
The second question is: do I want to buy a different new car in the interim, until my Defender comes in? That seems like nothing but a financial question. Are you prepared to lose $5-8,000 plus state taxes if a worst-case-scenario happens and the used Defender market softens and starts to behave like used Land Rovers of a mere 18 months ago? That's a low-likelihood scenario but not an unreasonable assumption. If that wouldn't sink your ship, then I see no real downside to "renting" this LR for a few months.
I bought a Frontier in October 2020 for a project I had; I was done with the project in July and sold it to Vroom online for $3500 more than I paid (not counting tax), which was still $2200 more than I had in it total. If yours comes in while these economies are still in play, you should do fine.
