R50 Cooper ASC+T - Worth it?

[Waugh-terfall]

After writing off his Cooper within 10 days/264mi, my mate is looking to replace it with another (to drive carefully and sensibly this time!!) however, as a matter of luck, his first was fairly well specced so he's looking for something as similar as possible. However, the turnaround on MINI Cherished is really fast, and I'm struggling to find one with everything the first one had. Chili Pack is easy, as is the Half-Leather and 3-spoke steering wheel. What doesn't appear that often are cars with ASC+T and the Alarm (I guess denoted by the led light on the indicator stalk?). The alarm probably isn't massively necessary but speaking from experience ASC+T might come in handy, were he to further underestimate the laws of physics...

General consensus? Hold out for one? MTFU and don't bother?

Thanks.

ASC+T isn't capable of bending the laws of physics, your friend is capable of bending his car..

Oh sure, I just mean, for the possibility of catching a mistake, just as a little safety net type thing...
