I loved my se awd, but I absolutely love the new SLS. I went from ice blue to the dark blue and debadged it immediately. The SLS package is what I should have bought the first time!!!!!!!

I just traded in my 2011 SLS in the dark blue with tan interior. I loved the look of it and would have kept it if it weren't for some sensor issues in the tires, something was wrong with the balance and two tires wore out in 5 months of me buying it (it was new but a demo). I commute 50 miles on way to work so I live in my car as well and bought it primarily for the bluetooth. The bluetooth was horrible. My clients would ask me to get them off the speaker because they couldn't hear me. After several attempts to get them to fix it at two different dealers they both ended up telling me that particular system was cheap and it's considered an after market product just installed on their cars. I was so angry since I specified that need from the very beginning. So from that plus the tire issues I was not a happy customer.

I got the 2013 SLS in silver with black interior. I love it but I'm wondering if the increase in payments and total value was worth it. I have two days to make sure and finalize the purchase which was a nice gesture of the dealership since they knew how upset I was with the situation of the 2011. I think that car may just have been a bad one. They worked out a pretty good deal and gave me a trade in value of what I actually paid for the 2011 so I figured it was a good deal. I am now researching all my options before I confirm for sure. I have to see if that price is worth this car of if I should go with something else. Any suggestions?

FWIW - I've got 34,000 miles on my 16 month old 2011 sls - except the the tires wearing out at 20,000 miles, the car is flawless.
I'm in sales always on the phone and have not had any issues with the bluetooth sound quality using an iphone 4s - my buddy just got a droid and says it sounds even better.
It sounds like you are getting a good deal on the new ride, and the dealer wants you to be happy - I say go for it -

Wow I really hope there will come a day I can enjoy my SLS as much as you do, to call it , if I ever sort its issues. I wouldn't even call wearing out the tires at 20k a flaw though, normal wear maybe. But yea, the Bluetooth its great on my galaxy too, and playing music through iPod touch.
