Honestly at this point costs are pretty negligible between Defender models. I optioned out the V4 fully loaded and it came out to 68k. The fully loaded 6 cylinder is 74k. Considering I've had my 911 for 6 years and plan on keeping it forever, what's 6k in the long run? I guess my point is that I wish I could be just as happy with a cheaper SUV but I don't think I can.
I went in trying to buy a S model buy the p300 engine didn't pop for me. At that point I was debating SE but drove up higher to get some nicer interior features. Now things are more a la carte so its a little more clear exactly what you are paying for in the bump. If I replicated my defender today its showing it near $85k, which is more than what I paid.

I'm undecided on windsor leather as well since I'd like a seat that can take some abuse: get wet, scratched, dogs, etc. How durable can I expect that leather to be?

It basically brings my build up from ~71 to 74k. I was really hoping to stay below 70k on my build but this is Land Rover after all. I just wish I could get myself to like the Bronco Sport for 40k, sigh...

the car has rubber floors. it isnt a leather lined palace like the Range Rover is. If you want a rough and tumble car, and want it to be a Land Rover, and like the defender, your best bet is to stick to your budget and not tick every luxury box. I have the grained interior in mine. Ive not once thought, "I wish I had nappa leather"
then again, this was yesterday...

@heliochrome85 hard to tell, but seems like you don’t have a front undershield? Based on a snipit of what I think you do off-roading, I’m guessing it’s really not necessary? Debating if I should add that since I want to get into off-roading and do not want to destroy my front. Not trueing you do anything too crazy from a difficulty level either.
