2015 Mustang Ecoboost

Currently driving a 15 EB Premium. I am going to be getting an 18 around March. Trying to wait for winter to pass before getting a new mustang. I am REALLY torn on what direction to take. I have been tossing this around for weeks as I might order one next month to get exactly what I want.
A little background. I drive about 20,000 miles a year. This car will be my daily driver. Live in the Northeast and dont have a garage. I will be driving this in rain, snow or shine.
Currently like my EB for the most part. It has the FP tune and it pretty peppy. I dont really hit high RPMs even in spirited driving, maybe 2-4500k most of the time. It can pull pretty good, so not really sure I need all that the GT can put down.
On the other hand the GT sounds fantastic, the new engine is a beast and it will probably more reliable in the long run. But a garage queen it will not be, it will be outdoors 24/7 and so not sure its worth the investment. It would be a pricy daily. Though a fun daily.
I have driven both an 18 base EB and Premium GT. GT sounded awesome and I liked the power, but the EB was no slouch and honestly not sure I can fully use the power of the GT. I dont track or race ever.
So I am looking at one of the following 2 configs.
EB - Premium - 10 SP Auto - PP - Magnaride - Safe & Smart
OR
GT - Premium - 10 SP Auto - Active Exhaust
Price difference is about $4.5k
I would really like the Magnaride. To do that on the GT Premium puts it at 10k over the EB basically.
So just can not decide if its worth sacrificing some things to get the V8. First it would be a lot more in gas, insurance surprisingly would only be about $13 more a month. I think most suspension parts are similar between GT and EB PP. But the EB PP has the 3.55 Torsen and the GT does not have the Torsen. Plus I could afford the Magnaride which I am excited about. How much better is the Torsen differential? Basically the EB would have more features and better parts for less money.
Every time I think I made up my mind, I change it again. I want to get an order in so I can just let it go, lol. :headbonk:
