Different kinds of cloth can wear differently too. Just because a cloth material is more expensive and might look better initially doesn't mean it will be the best choice for the long run.

Absolutely. For those who are lucky enough to be able to garage our cars, and are willing to maintain them, then leather can last plenty long. It also doesn't stain like cloth. I actually don't care for the leather part, I mostly want the alcantara and heated seats. My back hurts often and heated seats make it feel better.
It's all preference though IMO. If you don't take care of something it will die earlier regardless..
