While I sometimes think maybe I should have gotton the LR because of the audio and the faster charging, the extra $9k is actually a lot more money. At this point I have yet to take my SR+ on a long enough trip where I need 2 charges along the way and unless I decide to drive cross country as I did with my daughter's car I don't think the extra range is necessary for my regular use. I'm retired and have all the time in the world right now so charge time isn't an issue either. The only thing left is the audio. I think the SR+ audio is severely lacking. It sounds good when you turn it on but when you go through a playlist you start to hear how only certain music sounds good and other music is distinctly bad. It is a telling sign that I don't immediately turn on music in the car when I get in, and an even more telling sign that more than once I've turned it off because I found the sound fatiguing.
Now I'd also ask the question: Is the full premium sound system in the LR really good? It is after all still using the same drivers as my SR+, just with additional speakers too, and the subwoofer. Some people say it is the best they've ever had in a car while others say that those same people have never heard what GOOD sound is like. As a home audiophile I can say the SR+ doesn't even begin to sound good. I have little speakers in front of me right now on my computer table that sound better than the SR+. I once used them in my minivan for a trip and was suitably impressed.
