And I can understand your rationale. It really depends on how you ride your car.
My brother hates my car's character. He won't let me borrow the ES for my IS.
I actually love both cars, but the IS suits me better.I see why both cars do well together; most automakers don't want two entry-level cars, but both really provide different functions. The IS provides enough sport with all that luxury that the ES can provide. The ES just further enhances a luxurious ride with numbing ride quality.
You really can't go wrong with either car. You just have to find the one that fits your personality better.
Good luck with your search!

I have an IS350, and my brother has an Ultra-Lux ES350.

I'm going with the IS 350.
The ES UL is a great vehicle with plenty of goodies but I think I would get bored with it.
Now a fully equipped IS 350 will stay a powerful and fun car to drive.

I also Special Ordered my car, with everything but the Radar Cruise Control. Almost ordered a white IS just like what you want. You're gonna love it!
My brother Special Ordered his car too. No matter what, doing Special Orders is the best way to do it!

To clarify I don't think the ES is a bad car on it's own merits. If you want comfortably sit more then 1 passenger and/or get 2 golf bags in the trunk it's a nice car. But for me, I find it hard to stay awake while driving it.
