55 plate MCS >>>>> Clubman D - anyone done it?

Hey - I'm contemplating shipping in my 55 reg R53 MCS for a Clubby D to take advantage of the economy, extra space, lack of congestion charge, low road tax etc. Has anyone else done this swap and could you let me know if you are satisfied/disappointed at all?

I adore my Supercharged S but with the rising fuel costs plus the rubbish traffic I have to drive in these days I'm wondering if it's worth the change. I popped into the MINI dealer next to work and the sales guy was more than keen to put me in the direction of a Clubman S but when I said it was more likely I'd go for a D, he seemed less excited. Clearly the D is the big seller.

If you have made this swap, did you go for the Sport button and Sports Suspension to beef up your Clubby - or was that not necessary?
