Default November Touring 6 sp vs. Track now

My preordered Touring 6 sp is currently due to arrive late October or early November but I have found a Track model available in the same color this week.
I believe this is a little bit like whatever is your preference but was wondering if I have the differences correct? With the Track model you get the Rays, Brembos and Aero kit and with the Touring you don't get those items but you do get leather seats, Bose stereo and seat heaters.
Also, are the seats the same just one is leather and one is cloth?
I imagine I will get different opinions related to age group and FWIW I am in the over 40 crowd and will not be taking it to the track to race.
Any thoughts appreciated.

You will also lose the electric seat adjustment and the Bose stereo. I think something else too, but can think of it right now.

Oh yeah, no heated mirrors on the Track.

I'm getting so impatient, I think I would take any model to get the car today, even though my delivery is scheduled for next week. I would probably regret it later, but I really starting to lose my mind.

I'm not certain, but I believe the lower-end stereo is Bose too. Big difference is that the higher-end stereo has more power, CD changer (instead of single-disc) and sub-woofer.

I have never been one to spend a lot of money on car stereo. I'm a minor audiophile, but the background noise makes any serious listening impossible. (personal opinion) I have a garage and live in North Carolina, so the heated mirrors and seats held very little appeal for me.

Although I will miss the power seats and the sub-woofer, I went with the Track because of the lighter wheels and better brakes. I figure I will have a slightly but probably noticably better-performing car every time I take off, as I go around every corner, and every time I stop. That made the difference for me.

Anyone have an answer to whether the seats are the same with cloth vs. leather being the only difference? Also, since I am in Michigan are the Brembo's and Ray's a bad idea with winter weather, snow, etc.?

Several people answered. The leather seats also have seat heaters and are powered instead of manual-adjust. I have read something else which indicates that there are more differences as well, (they raved about how comfortable the cloth seats are) but I don't have it at my fingertips.

I'm 49 and I ordered the Track model. I prefer the Track model's hardware to the Touring model's amenities. I also think the Rays wheels and Brembo brakes add to the car's character and appearance. It comes down to what is most important to you.
