Main factor was I test drove the vehicle with the larger wheel size and the ride was comfortable (even with all the Manhattan potholes). The price of PASM and sport chrono far outweighed the benefit of each - I wouldn't be driving the vehicle so hard as to require the stiffer suspension set-ups/sport mode. If you are taking your vehicle to the track, both of these are solid options to pick-up, but I don't see myself doing that in the foreseeable future.

Also, the sport chrono looks ugly on top of the dash - similar to the diamond tweeters found on top of B&W speakers, or the center channel found on older Volvo C70's.

I say save the money and put it towards other options such as the larger rims, or to chip away at the price of full full leather, or adaptive sport seats.
