I've just come back from the OPC having seen a selection of new cars in a selection of interior/exterior colours and I'm even more torn than I was before. I thought I loved the black/pebble interior but with Gentian blue the whole effect just seems too light and I'm not sure the two work together that well for me.

And then Night Blue looks lovely when it's bright, but I'm not convinced when it's dull.

And I was sure I'd not like Volcano and now I do.

Then I saw a sample of the Mojave beige and it's much less yellow in real life than on the confuserator. But there was no car with it on.

Argh!

I’m looking at a heavily spec’d GTS and just tried spec’ing a S to the same level - turns out there’s only a £324 premium for the GTS (so just over £5/bhp)
Not really “up” a model. Its up in price but does different things. Looks wise they are pretty much identical, and straight line speed the difference is minimal, but the GTS has more sport pretensions, so more cramped and slightly harder seats, stiffer suspension and louder exhaust. You can get these on the S or you can remove them on the GTS, but then what’s the point?

So they massage your ego in different ways rather than being the next model up.
Omni it's nothing to do with ego, it's what car suits you best. The GTS worked out as better value for me as a similarly specced S was only a bit cheaper, there was only a few thousand difference to a base if I specced it upto how I'd want it. Which was what led me to the GTS, it's better value if you want the bells and whistles.
The seats are not cramped, they are identical in shape to the 8/14/18 way seats regardless of model you choose, itsthe way they are trimmed that is different. The air suspension is not necessarily stiffer than base or just pasm if not in sports+ mode, far from it. The cars handling is sportier and the brakes are an improvement, despite some bizarre postings I've read on here. As for the exhaust, of course, who wouldn't want Pops and Bangs!!!!!

I did, yes, sort of. Apologies for the rubbish pics, but the car was about to be prepped and I didn't want to interfere too much!

I really like this, It would be my 2nd option after Red which I went for ( Gentian/Red) , Gentian is dark enough for it and I think it goes well
