Great choice Veight .... you will love the 550. 
Your color combo will look stunning. 
Night vision is an interesting choice for you ... I don't know that it would be all that helpful in a city setting, but where you live it is much more rural and with all the deer running around it may prove to be a safety option.
I agree with the HD radio suggestion ... Sirius is OK and I enjoy the huge selection of channels, but the sound quality of HD is a much better match with the outstanding sound system. Can you get both?
Good luck with the wait ... just do what the rest of us did to pass the time by spending 24/7 on this forum.

Nice color combo - must not have kids!
I would drop the Sirius and replace it with the HD radio. The sound quality on the Sirius is terrible here in Chicago. Plus we have lots of HD stations here!
Which dealer did you use?

I really believe the advantage of HD radio is lost in a car with the road noise. May be more of an advantage with AM stations.
Dealer...Knauz.

I am still torn between the Monaco Blue and the Silver gray exterior. The only reason I didn't order the silver gray is because I want the gray interior and Im afraid the 2 colors will be too monotone...what do you think???
