So obligatory that no one else even bothered to mention it. wink

But really it's easy to get hung up on spec. I spent the better part of 6 months looking for a very particular spec F430 Spider F1, missed out on a couple of them through not being quick enough but the rest of the time was just left watching perfectly decent cars come and go. As a consequence I've missed some lovely sunny days that I could've been driving around, instead of dwelling on why I thought it was so important that the car had a yellow speedo (for example).

The base car will be fantastic, particularly if it's your first Ferrari. So long as you buy at the right price point bearing in mind the options it has you can't go far wrong imo.
