£7K difference is a good starting point.

I seriously looked at HSE, but adding privacy glass, RSE and tow pack just kept taking the price upwards towards £60K
So somethings in my SE, I live without:-
Keyless entry (SE has keyless ignitiion and I do prefer to be in control!)
Dynamic response
TV (nobody could watch it while driving, unless option of dual view is specced)
20" wheels (so prone to damage and a joltier ride)
Premium leather (nice fancy stitching -I do like)

but my SE has a few options ticked:-
heated seats, cold climate pack
heated premium steering wheel
mood lighting
stainless tread plates
premium carpets
memory pack
RSE
high beam assist
metallic paint
privacy glass
tow pack

Still less than the price of an HSE, of course its still a RRS and MY12 with lovely 8 speed box and 256BHP.

So just go with what YOU want!

v useful list thanks. I definitely couldn't live without dynamic response. I have grown to like the keyless entry, I set mine to only open the drivers door for added safety. Once you learn that 'mirrors folded = doors locked' then it's super convenient. And the warning when you drive off without the key is far from subtle so I'm confused why some people get caught out. I love the 20" wheels and I'm glad I listened to James LPR - they are the S/C wheels and initially I wanted him to swap them for standard TDV8 20s but now they are my favourite part of the look

Horses for courses really, everyone should get what they want to. And a TDV8  ============
2010 TDV8 HSE - ooo laa laaaaaaaaa
2007 TDV8 HSE - superb car and very reliable

2012 - dearly departed, sadly missed.. to return in late 2013 with a new TDV8!
