Leasing in MI or IN?

Anyone here leasing their car using an address in MI? I'd like to lease as I have to turn in my 2001 in August, but I'm thinking of an RS4 in a year or 2, so I want a 2 year lease. With the crazy tax situation in Chicago on leases, I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to try to lease through my in-laws in MI.

I've done a lease in MI. If you lease the car in IL, you'll pay the entire sales tax

up front and roll that cost into the lease. If you lease in MI, you pay the taxes as a lease use tax which is signifficantly lower in the long run. I have an address in MI and just called AOA about 2 months after the lease started and had them forward all my billing to my address in Chicago.
