Hey Scissor,
You're clearly and even-keeled gent. Many a subscriber would have launched their own salvo in return. Good for you.
It's horses for courses, I think . . . buy the thing that suits your circumstances best.
I have to say, though, that dual bench front seat in a 350 or 355 is wonderful . . . but caution any errant passenger loader who doesn't put the 'hottie' next to me!!!
