Just to tie off this thread ... I have finalized my Sprinter order and made the following decisions regarding my "on the fence" items:
ORDERED Overhead Storage Slot, Front Center, 12V Wiring (Option FF8)
NOT ORDERED Fuel-Fired Pre-Heater/Booster (Option H12)
NOT ORDERED Electrically Heated Windshield (Option F49)
ORDERED Leather Steering Wheel (Option CL3)
ORDERED Black Leatherette Seats (Option VU9)
ORDERED Rear Heater Prep (Option H88)
My finalized MB order can be found here: MB Order Sheet ; and a pdf of the Excel spreadsheet I used during my MB ordering process is here: MB Order Spreadsheet.

Well, I thought that my order was final ... MB came back and said that I couldn't order the H88 Rear Heater Prep option without also ordering either the HZ9 Fuel Fired Heater Booster option or the H12 Fuel Fired Pre-Heater/Booster option. Therefore I added H12 since it will have some additional utility for me -- engine block pre-heating in very cold conditions.
I will update the SMB Sprinter order document and my decision spreadsheet to reflect this addition.

You might also consider adding the remote. It's $300 or something, but has a nearly 2 mile range. Not sure what your usage will be, but I know we'll take full advantage of it when we're headed back to the van after skiing. Might seem like a lot, but when looking at the total cost of the van - it's a drop in the bucket
