It adds a bit more than just a pure styling/suspension package.

Sport plus and sport are indistinguishable to me.

Thats probably it then, no canyon runs here in Florida. Best that I get to do are interstate exit ramps from time to time.

Wow, my bad. I agree, that's not fair at all. I had no idea a heated steering wheel was only standard for the AWD F Sport models.

Reason being, AWD is mainly sold colder/snowy climates. So... Lexus threw in the heated steering for them.

Never really seen the need for heated steering anyways outside of a convertible.
