Truthfully I would ONLY consider the "L" if I was a B-I-G person (I'm not) and money was no object.

As I recall when I bought mine, the only other diferences were the leather for the seats was a little smoother/softer and they used a different material for the headliner. Frankly, unless you need the extra legroom for the rear seat passengers, the SWB will do the trick.

LWB has standard Navigation, Front Heated and Cooled seats, Rear heated seats, Power Door Closers, Power Trunk Open/Close, Power Rear Sunshade, Wood and leather trimmed heated steering wheel, Headlamp Washers. These are all options on the SWB and come in the form of various packages.
Per my calculations, the cost of these options for the SWB is about $4,200. (Comfort Package plus Nav)

It appears that my SWB has all the options except the Pre-Collision System option and the entertainment system for the backseat.

when the time is right..... (i hope in the near future!!!?!??!?!) i'll be getting an LS as well. the SWB LS is not even an option. My LS HAS to have air suspension no matter what!
the other options like others have stated are also important (leather upgrade, rear seat heating/cooling, and sunshades...) but to me, the most important is the air-ride.

if your not gonna mod your car, i guess the SWB is acceptable. but if your gonna throw a set of wheels on it and do even a little bit of modding, you gotta get the LWB LS.

Ride?
Curious that no one mentions the ride, by that I mean is the ride itself different? I would think that the longer wheel base might feel different on the highway. Similar to a MB SE vs MB SEL. Maybe the technology is so improved that it is negligible now days? For those that have driven both extensively, any thoughts?
Looking to upgrade one day.
