Good question. Leather has proven more durable than synthetics, and that's why it's the choice of WN. Some think it feels upscale, others don't like it - it's the economics that's likely to win this one.

I'm also looking forward (with hope) to MCE in the US fleet. It's not like that requires a full. CIP; it can be done overnight.
