OMG...It's beautiful :)
Beauty is subjective...I don't care for the large side window borders, hard top, and paddle shifters - the latter being very gimmicky. Some of the features are nice, like the rear lounge, swim seats (they should make those an accessory for all models), etc. But I just can't get past the ugly windows, and my wife feels the same.
YMMV
?
 
Paddle shifters are only on the high end model. None of the videos I’ve seen have mentioned that, but I know they were not on the mid model that I sat in.

I’m not so sure about the under water seats. Now that I’ve seen them... if you were sitting on one, and had another person sitting on the swim deck seat of a 24’, the person in the waters face would be firmly in the other persons knees. It works well on the 27’ because that rear facing lounge is so much farther away from the water.
 
I'd hate to see the cost of this high end model......
