It's such a personal decision, made harder by how difficult it is to find these things in person to look at.
I initially ordered Glacier without full paint, then saw one exactly like that drive past here in FL, and immediately called the dealer and changed it to full paint because the cladding looked too 'Subaru-ish'. That said, I've since seen Subarus without the cladding!
Overall though I'm still glad I changed to full paint. I think it looks a bit more refined.
If you didn't see it, there's a thread over here about color, where there is also discussion about full paint.

I did not hesitate a second in ordering the full paint option. I did go back and forth on color....Manhattan Gray won out over Florett Silver and Glacier White. All look great IMHO, but I was so tired of black interior, I went with Rock Gray....and it just demanded the Manhattan.

Also, the Sport Package defaults to black carpet. I've had sport seats in the last 3 Audi's I've owned and I can't go back to the standards....they feel small.

My Prestige is Manhattan Gray/Rock Gray with black carpeting/Gray Oak/Sport Package/Full Paint. Glad the Sport Package includes the black headliner for 2017.

That's so funny. I did exactly the same. I ordered the manhattan gray without the full paint but it always irked me that they look like subarus. About a month after I ordered I called my dealer and added full paint. I knew that if I hadn't, it would drive me nuts every time I got in the car. The only thing I don't like about the full paint is that it's not a continuous fender but rather an insert panel. Nevertheless, it's still the closest we'll get to an avant in the US. On another note, and I know many will disagree, I think the Gotland green with the cladding looks soooo Subaruish, you almost expect to see an Eddie Bauer logo somewhere on it. To each his own, I guess.
Also, living in FL hopefully means it will stay a bit cooler, although that would apply to grey too it seems!
