If i missed anything in the poll let me know post it here. Thanks for you help
For me what sold me was the improved navigation, new HD display, 6NR. Also since I will have to switch over to LCI climate control, I can change the settings from the knob without having to go into the settings every time with CCC. Yes it's pricey but for me it's well worth it. CCC is sooo slow.

Pretty cool if you are on a budget and do not feel the need to spend 4-5g's on CIC.

It's all about what's on your budget , for me personally ever since I found out about CIC retrofit kit I knew I had to have it.

I got a loaner earlier this week with CIC and I just loved how fast it was. Especially for entering destinations. I would really like to upgrade but not at the current price.
