the Avantgarde trim level includes the Xenons IIRC, although I don't know the price difference between SE and AG I would not want not to have Xenons.

I believe Xenons provide the biggest difference to road safety of all the options. Even if they are not standard, they are worth having as an option - but it is then worth looking at the price including Xenons - it may be quite close to the price of the AG, with which you would get other features as standard, and a better residual price.

I did look at the AG and nice as it is, with the COMAND etc, it would bust my budget

Is the car an auto. Seems missing from that spec. Would try and get the real leather. Much nicer.

Reversing camera seems a bit OTT. A parktronic system just as useful.

Yes it is Automatic
I have a reversing camera on my current car and I have come to rely on it, will still get parktronic as standard.

You are wise to rely on it. Parktronic may be looking at one object when you hit another different one!

I have had parktronic advise me about the proximity of flowers in a friends garden, whilst ignoring the single brick height border!
