Question EE Free Day -- Best Chance for Luxury Car?

Hey all. I know that I'm able to reserve any vehicle with EE free days (at least up to Luxury), though the problem I'm running into is that my local airport location doesn't have anything about premium available to reserve online.

Speaking with the branch manager, he explained that it is because they don't typically have many luxury options around -- usually 1 or maybe 2. He said I can e-mail him directly with any reservations and also what I'd prefer to drive. At the time that I called a couple months ago, he had 1 Cadillac SUV available.

My question is this -- when reserving a 'placeholder' vehicle online to attempt to get a luxury or higher vehicle at the branch, should I pick the most expensive vehicle? Or should I pick the vehicle closest to what I'm wanting?

For an example, premium may be only $80 but a minivan or pickup may be $150. Would I have more 'weight' picking the more expensive vehicle? Of course, the last thing I want is to get stuck with a minivan doing this... But it is the more expensive option. Any thoughts?
