I've had both XM traffic and HD radio traffic, the HD radio traffic is worthless. Its completely inaccurate, shows roads as backed up all the time that are clear, roads as clear all the time that are backed up. The XM traffic isn't much better, but you have the choice to just not pay for it.
To trade all of the benefits of the luxury package, the AVS suspension, the upgraded 18 way seats, the upgraded leather, the rear seat audio and climate, sunshades, the better wood trim, so on and so on for HD Radio Traffic would be insane IMHO.

The accuracy seemed to be spot on with what Google Traffic pulled up in my experience (Dealer Loaners)
I wouldn't give up the nicer features either for that reason but I'd be looking for a newer loaded up GS instead.

With that said, I agree with your point that I wouldn't trade It for the lux features. Doesn't really matter in this case, as OP is comparing a 13 and a 14, both of which have XM.

Get the Lux... I drive all3 flavors of GSs on a regular basis and I love the seats in the Lux.
That alone would sell me on the Lux.
Now, when you say base... do you mean Base GS350 but with 18s, heated steering wheel, ventilated seats, etc or a base base no heated seat 17" wheel saleproof car?

When I say base, I'm talking about a 2014 with at least a Cold Weather package (that's probably not technically a 'base', but whatever...)
