I didn't want the last thing to go through my mind as a car was about to t-bone me to be "darn, I wish I would have spent the extra $1500 for the 2LT!" Plus, I didn't want a black interior in Arizona.

If you like an all black interior and are not worried about a passenger being hit on the side of the car, get the 1LT.
I could never forgive myself if anything happened to my wife or one of my kids if I didn't have the airbags. I also prefer the perforated look and want the cashmere/ebony two tone seats. Gotta pony up for the 2LT just to pay an extra $695 for the two tone.

2LT owners seem to like their seats - 1LT owners.. not so much
I put up a poll recently about the Sport vs. base seats. Base seat owners were unhappy about their seats 1/3 of the time. Sport seat owners generally liked their seats, with less than 1/5 of the owners reporting they didn't like theirs.
I really think the extra $$$ was well spent for my 2LT.

3lt only way to go IMHO. Heads up display is worth price alone, plus premium stereo, memorized seats, yada yada yada...
Only way I would do it..
In ur case I would def. go 2lt. It's not that much more dude.

2LT adds weight (so does Z51, BTW) and a preference for the fancy seats is the only good reason to get it. However, I had the base seats in my C5 and they actually fit me better than the fancy seats in my 3LT C6. I suggest that you go sit in both before making a final decision.

Too much 1LT bashing going on in this thread 
For me, I was plenty happy with the options offered in the 1LT package. Velocity Yellow goes best with an ebony interior anyway so I had no need for a 2 tone combo, Blose stereo gets so much bad press on these forums it seems that it isn't an upgrade over the base stereo (which is very good imo). Single guy=who cares about a passenger power seat
Nav is covered since I have a portable and it let's me program it while driving if needed.
While it's nice to have the extra stuff offered in the 2LT-3LT, it wasn't worth the extra cost, I put the savings towards Z51 and comp gray rims.

gray comp rims are the cheapest set of available rims

I guess I come from the old days when a car was considered loaded when it had AC, power brakes and power steering. Power windows, keyless entry, how lazy! LOL! I'm afraid my 1LT has everything I could possibly want and more.

My current C6 is pretty loaded, but I'd buy the 1LT next time. I'd gladly trade the heated memory seats, HUD, etc., for a few thousand in cash. Z51 and 1LT for me next time, they can keep everything else. What I really want is a package below the LT1 that deletes the keyless ignition and other electro-gizmos as well.
