Default How many would give up their leather interior for cloth?

The thought just crossed my mind and I was wondering if anyone would give up their black or grey (and maybe even saddle) leather interior for cloth just to be different.

An example

i have the cloth door panel inserts. they are decent quality. Much better than a "cheap car's" cloth interior

just to be different? it looks like, "just cause I'm cheap" or "just to make my car worth less" imo

I actually have a complete set in the garage. They are much nicer than you think. Like a cross between Bride and alcantara. They dont feel like Honda cheap stuff or rought like Nissan Z models.

But still, for the "luxury" feel, I think that leather sits about right. I can't imagine giving up leather for cloth.
