1. BOSE is irrelevant. The electronics stuff is a distraction, except for blue tooth. Listen to the engine.
2. Sport Chrono is a must have only with PSE. Take PSE over BOSE any day.
3. Must have full leather, the workmanship is excellent. Car feels handmade.
4. Comfort seats are a non-issue... a waste, especially once you have your seat set. It's takes a whole 2 nano-seconds to adjust.
I wouldn't settle for what is immediately available. List down what you want then look for it. Then decide on the compromises.

Full leather is worth the wait - I really wanted it after having settled on a standard leather package on my 2007 S - but the funny thing is this time around I still settled for the standard leather in the 2009 4S because the deal was so sweeeeettttt !!!!!!!

Some options lose their appeal the by the time you make your first payment, others get dailty use ..... for me the sport chrono is not a must have - I would have preferred PSE or full leather over it - if I had to choose. Good luck - either one will plaster a smile on your face.

I have Meteor on my '08 C4S, Bose, and std. leather, but very few cars are ordered by Dealers with full leather in Canada for their inventory - which it seems that is not the case in the U.S. and therefore may be an important consideration for resale in your area.

The Bose is just 'o.k.'in terms of sound quality IMO, and tire and engine noise are clearly not friends of the audiophile, so while it may be better than the standard system it is by no means a great sound system IMO. Like many Forum members too, I generally prefer listening to the sound of the engine anyway! But if you are constantly on the highway on longer drives, this may be an important option to you, and if this is the case, I would personally consider doing a highway comparison before deciding.

On color, while so many colors look great on a 911, I love Meteor myself, and am glad I ordered it, but I agree with other comments that GT Silver is a rarer color and I think if I had been in your situation, I would have been happy with either color, and therefore would have made a decision based on the relative importance of all the options to me.

Bottom line though, if you intend to keep the car for a long time, I would recommend waiting the few weeks for the Florida car if it is really the one you want, as you will have many years to enjoy it. Best of luck either way!
