The only thing that’s killing me is once I add mag ride and 2LT to the car, it’s not much more to go to the GS.....
So do I spend the extra ~$3k? I’m thinking yes.

very dangerous question to ask here as you know what the answer will be...The GS only has 4” of clearance compare to 5” for the Stingray.

The PDR is a fun add-on ... especially if you have the NAV as well. Mine is parked for the winter, but I have videos from the PDR on my Iphone which i can watch anytime. Acts as a reminder of the fun yet to come in the spring...expecially the videos on winding and hilly roads, etc. You can watch the videos on VLC, or download the Cosworth software (free) and re-live your exact runs,and the NAV allows for split screen maps of your route. Worth considering IMO. VLC is available for most phones as well.

For me getting a 2LT car was worth it. I wanted the HUD and heated/cooled seats in particular so I waited until I found the right car with a 2LT option package. But for many the 1LT does the job and they are quite happy with that package level.

Kevin sums it up perfectly. If you would enjoy and use those features offered on the 2LT it's well worth the money. If not? It is a waste of money. All based on individual wants and needs. I went 1LT because the only thing in the 2 package I would have used is the front camera. Not going to pay $4,500 for a front camera.
Yeah....oddly enough for me, it's not about the front camera, the HUD, or even the heated/cooled seats. I'm 6'3 with long legs and I like the auto return seats for better ease of ingress / egress. Getting old, I guess.

I have a 2LT, I wouldn't miss any of the extra features it affords. Not one. Now the performance features like MRC, E-Diff, that is where your money should go! After all it is a sports car.

I have had both 1LT and 2LT. I wouldn't have bought the 2LT if I didn't think it was worth it - I really love the HUD & Front cameras, the subwoofer in the stereo doesn't add much to the sound, the Homelink is useful but not a deal breaker, the memory seats are a plus if you aren't the only driver (which I am), I don't use the heated/cooled seats or anything else in the package - the XM is 1 yr vs. 3 months for the 1LT and since you can get 6 months for $30, obviously that is only worth $60 on a $4,200 package. The only other options my car has a carbon badges (which for $100 look awesome) and PDR. I wouldn't buy a C7 without the PDR.

No regrets. As others have said, list the options out and circle the must and would be nice to see if of value.

Love the Heated/vented seats (heated seats work MUCH better in my '19 GS than they did in my '14 Z51)
Love the front camera (didn't think I'd really care but they ARE quite handy)
Like the 10-speaker Bose® premium audio system (not the best I've ever heard but certainly not the worst)
Love the Universal Home Remote (nice not having the garage door opener clipped to the sunvisor. Not to mention the extra 2 buttons for Mild2Wild!)
Love the Auto-dimming mirrors (self explanatory)
LOVE the Memory Package (once set, nice to have easy ingress and egress)
LOVE the Head-Up Display (miss it in my other vehicles that don't have it)
Love the SiriusXM Satellite Radio (love me my Andrew Wilcow!)

Not worth it to me, all nice features in the 2lt but nothing I would say is a must have or strong want for me.

PDR, Mag Ride, Nav, and competition seats are all available on the 1LT. You can buy a clear roof second hand, and you can add front camera (aftermarket). Ventilated/heated seats and HUD aren't available on the 1LT and adding later can be expensive/complicated.
