SE fully loaded VS. Autobiography

I'm looking at ordering a Range Rover LWB 7-seat SE and adding the options I actually want rather than stepping up to the Autobiography.

Here's how I have the SE configured:

  • Santorini Black
  • Nickel Atlas Exterior Package
  • Privacy glass
  • Sliding panoramic roof
  • Pixel LED headlights with Signature DRL
  • 22" Style 5127 wheels
  • Ebony perforated Semi-Aniline leather
  • Premium Upgrade Interior Package
    • Full Extended Leather Upgrade
    • Solar-attenuating windshield
    • SV Bespoke carpet mats
  • Noble Chrome controls
  • Ebony headlining
  • Gloss Grand Black veneer
  • Comfort Package
    • Front center-console refrigerator
    • Twin-blade sunvisors
  • Convenience Package
    • Powered gesture tailgate
    • Cargo-space partition net
    • Versatile cargo-space floor
  • Soft-grain leather steering wheel
  • Illuminated seat-belt buckles
  • 24-way heated & cooled massage front seats
  • Power-reclining heated & ventilated second-row seats
  • Heated third-row seats
  • Meridian 3D Surround Sound
  • ClearSight interior rearview mirror

I intentionally didn't add the Head-Up Display or Rear Seat Entertainment, as neither is particularly important to me.

With the P400 3.0L I6, this build is around $137K. I can do essentially the same SE build with the P530 4.4L V8 for around $161K.

I'm having a hard time seeing the value in moving all the way to the Autobiography once the SE is optioned this way. Am I overlooking any significant Autobiography-only features that you can't add to the SE?

Also interested in opinions from anyone who's driven both the P400 and P530 in the LWB. Is the V8 worth roughly $24K more?

Thanks in advance!

Old Fashioned Help

Ive been ordering and making Zacappa Old fashioneds for years now and despite my best effort, the ones I make at home do not taste like great ones I have at cocktail bars. I can use the same ratios of Zacappa, and syrup, but mine still seem too syrupy as opposed to the ones at cocktail bars and nice restaurants (which are just smooth). The only difference I can think of is the ice I am stirring with or the makeup of the simple syrup. Are there any bartenders that can point me in the right direction? Thanks!
