OP: Test drive both. The 17+ has a much bigger difference out of the box then prior due to the MT only getting the power changes plus an even shorter final drive. It feels just as fast if not faster then my MY13 AT with added power mods.
Tell the dealer you want an extended test drive to really get a feel for it. If they won't let you find a different dealer. Then get whichever one puts the bigger smile on your face.
My other car is a MR2 Spyder which is less useful then even a soft top ND since the MR2 has no trunk. You have a jeep which would make this less of a problem if you need cargo space. But with a kid having a backseat just in case might be a good option.

Kinda misleading. If you blow your engine and have a header and tune I would be shocked for that to not be insta-denied. It would then be on you to try and prove otherwise. But if your shocks blew they couldn't blame it on the power mods.
