Just another point of view. I came from an early S3S V6 Exige last year and bought an Evora 400.
For an Exige, the V6 is a bit of a plush riding experience, very comfortable but still, in my opinion, suffers from too much information at the wheel.
Now onto the Evora 400. What an amazing chassis, definitely an improvement over the Elise platform in every way possible. It is the fastest point to point car I have ever owned. Now, up to fairly recent times, perfect apart from in the power to weigh department. Definitely lacking torque. But, that has been cured by having the Komo-Tec 475 kit added on. It is now a complete savage and has the power to match the chassis. If you ask me, a very sensible way of spending your pennies. Get a 400, same engine architecture as the other 4xxs, then bang a 475 kit on and say goodbye to everything you encounter! It is an utter riot. 80)

The carbon seats are fab, just a bit too upright in the Evora for me.
I have the tilted seat brackets in mine -https://www.simplysportscars.com/shop/body-and-aer...

Ok, so hoping to go see some cars this weekend, get a feel for different specs, looking at the classifieds, what cars on there currently do people rate, personally I would take a green one with the carbon seats, it currently not an option, I am not sure on the red either. The white GT410 seems a good price, but I assume this is down to the seat colour, for me then it would be the grey car as I love the yellow grey combo, or perhaps the purple.
On the black cars, had black before and don't wish to have it again, plus I've the 2 tone look of a different colour car and roof.

Yes, I had a pair of the brackets, but sold the car before I got them fitted!

I just couldn’t / can’t get comfy in the buckets so thankfully found one with the armchairs 
in the colour and spec I wanted.
Just very lucky it appeared for sale at the right time.
The ‘greeny grey’ one…

That's not the one from the CC auction is it? If so, you outbid me!
Shame your not into black as Jon Seal sports cars have a beauty in stock.
There is also this which has the carbon seats

Only 2 x green Sport 410s in the country (gratuitous photo). It might be up for sale later this year depending on whether my new car 'man maths' works out On the black cars, had black before and don't wish to have it again, plus I've the 2 tone look of a different colour car and roof.
