A guy at work just ordered one of these cars with the SFE package (IMO is worth it). I'll bug him to take some pics when it comes in.

Good point, Daox. I thought that was the case too, but it wasn't mentioned that way anywhere (that I could find) on Ford's website so I didn't include it.
I like the package, but I still don't think it's financially a good idea. **Assuming** the SFE is worth an additional 2 mpg combined, which is probably pretty reasonable if you drive much highway, the $500 doesn't pay itself off in $4/gallon gas until around 90k miles. If the LRR tires lasted the life of the car like the aero stuff, then that would be all you have to consider. But if you expect the SFE gains to keep going, you already have to purchase LRR tires (whenever that is, maybe 50k miles average.)
If you have the cash on hand, it's definitely worth it in the long run. Just an extra $500 right when you drop 16+k on a new car and sales tax, insurance, etc...
