Default Hmmm, Leather orrr??????

I've been researching leather for my interior and was wondering what to go with, leather or ultraleather? So, I'm thinking, what are the pros and cons of both? Those of you that have either or have used both in the past, lets hear your opinions.

I had this debate with myself about my interior, but I went with real Italian leather after sampling a few different kinds and ultra leather. But ultra leather is I think better then standard leather at less then half the cost.

No, it's a leather alternative. It's not the cost I'm debating, it's a few things. Value of the car, wear, comfort, smell, oh, and maybe alittle cost? But I don't want to take short cuts that will be less appealing if that makes any since.

Ultra leather is synthetic. I think it's really nice. The advantage of ultra leather is that it can be stretched in 2 directions, where as real leather can only really be stretched in 1 direction.

Maybe one of the experts like Tracy from Recovery Room will chime in.
