4. faster acceleration -6.5s vs 6.9s
5. more power - 20hp. Should make a real difference.
6. cruise control with STOP and GO

from what you said, the difference is 7000 euro. which may sound like much, but consider the depreciation. the 40d will hold its value better and so when u want to sell it after 3-4 yrs, you will get more for it, and i believe make back that 7K you spent initially.
Very true,but 7000 euro is a lot of money.

Dont get me wrong,i will buy 40d,but if you dont care much about few HP more and several smart thing you shold go for 35d. Trust me,its amazing ride!
