Fine Nappa a $1200 option? If it were a $0. option, I'd still choose Alcantara over Nappa for many of the reasons others have mentioned. Cool in summer, warmer in winter and well planted in drivers seat.

personally I think the nappa leather looks way better than the alcantara, I actually had to order my car from Audi in order to get it as Alcantara seems more common. The door arm rest in comes in leather vs plastic with the alcantra option. I also think the color contrast stitching looks cool with the leather.

Although I would have been totally fine with the Alcantara for the reasons mentioned earlier I also think the Nappa Leather and stitching looks best.
