I test drove a SLT with the bucket seats and deep center console for
250+ miles and I bought a SLT with the cheaper seats.
I don't think that there is much difference in the seats them selves. I
don't think that the center console is as WIDE as the flip down arm rest.
That arm rest is very wide.
The Center Console is DEEP. You can loose things down there... but you
can store a lot more. I know that someone installed a CD Changer in there.
I like the flip down arm rest. It is pretty roomy and you can move it out
of the way. I do wish I could install a CD-Changer in it. That's not going
to happen.
Anyway... I think that you should base your decision on what you want
to do with the center console/armrest and not the difference in the seats
which is pretty minimal.
I can't recall right off hand... but I think that the 20 part of the
front seat with the flip down armrest may just be bolted to the floor and
doesn't move with the seat adjustments.
