Default Difference in instrument clusters?

So, Im pricing out Jeeps, and noticed this and was just curious as to the difference. My 2 main contenders are the X model with the S package, or a Sahara. I know the Sahara has leather steering wheel cover, 18s, side steps and painted fenders, but noticed it has a "Premium Instrument Cluster" and the X just has an "Instrument Cluster". What is the difference between the 2?

Also, any other things different between the X (w/ S Package) and the Sahara that I didnt mention above?

I can get the X for $24955 sticker, and the Sahara is $27400, so Im leaning towards the X, but wanted to make sure it wasnt missing something Id want.

Oh, lastly, if the X has a hard top, does its windows not come tinted stock?

Sorry for all the questions, thanks for the info.

I believe that the "premi" cluster adds the temp/dte/gas milage led.

I'm really happy with my Jeep, but if I had to choose something I really was disappointed in it would be the lack of gauges in the cluster.

Ive found one just like Id like to have so I just wanted to make sure beforehand.

Any idea on the tint on the hardtop? Not that it matters as I can just have it tinted, but I was just curious.

The S package on the X adds theleather wrapped steering wheel and the Compass/temp/dte/milage to the cluster, the cluster is all black and the Sahara gets a trim color I believe. The Sahara will also have the YES essentials seat fabric, fog lights, tow hooks and the Infinity sound system. The hard top on the X comes with a really light tint on the windows.

Alright, thanks for the info. None of that really matters to me.

Mine will be built to suit anyway...

Get the X, if your on this board, your gonna modify it anyway. $2500 will go a long way in mods for what your gettin in mods from the dealer. First of all if your planning on lifting it , $250-$350 for a Budget Boost of your choice, Body Lift $130-$150, Seat covers( cover the YES fabric anyway) $300-$600. Sunbonnet or Safarie Top $300, Airaid or CAI $225-$300, new muffler $70-$200, grab handles $15-$40, and you still haven't hit $2500, just my 2cents to let you know why I gotta X. I knew I was gonna mod and went the cheaper route. But hey if you wanna spend it for a couple extras that you really want and don't mod it , Go for it, but like I said , if your on this board, CUT UP YOUR CREDIT CARDS and never return, or your gonna mod it. Damn that WOL!!!
