Default I think the alcantara seats are firmer than the full leather...
Alcantara holds you better for those spirited canyon runs.

I'd worry about cleaning the alcantara, and if it would wear as well

Default That just means the sweat is being absorbed into the Alcantara. After time...ewwww.
I got full leather.

I love my full leather "silver" interior with a black exterior.

Default My alcantara hasn't needed cleaning in 2+ years of use.
And it's wearing better than the leather is.

Cleans easier than leather.... Can you take sandpaper to a stain on leather?

Why would cloth/leather combo seats be an option at "more" $ than all leather seats?
