If I could of justified spending the money I would of went with an F but given that I couldn't I would of gotten exactly what I did. 07 with 40k miles, SGM, Lux package, F sport exhaust, ML System, G spyder wheels, since then i've done 35% tint, a few minor things.

I got an IS350 in Ultrasonic Blue, but I doubt they will be available used anytime soon. If I didn't have the option, I would be torn between Starfire Pearl and Smoky Granite Mica.
The only thing that kept me from going with SGM was that my sister has one and the dealer only had the color in a 250 F-Sport, not a 350.
I have always loved white cars, and the IS definitely looks great in white. Since it is a light color you can do many different color contrast themes while still keeping the car classy. I also love the white with a black roof overlay...very sporty and sexy.
As for Black cars, they are a P.I.T.A. to take care of and show crazy swirl marks. If you are handy with a polisher you could go for it if you find one for a good price, but I wouldn't suggest it.
The premium sound system is't that great in my opinion. It sounds crisp at full blast, but it still isn't loud enough for my taste. My G37 had the Bose stereo system and it sounds far better. I wouldn't waste the money on it if you don't have to.

If I really had to do it again, I would have kept my INFINITI

I would have gotten any other color than black. It's a pain to maintain.

got 08 IS250 Silver for a couple of weeks, like it so far.

Missing Memory seats(my wife sometimes jumps in)
Rain sensor (when wipers changes speed based on rain)

Can't think of anything else.
