Classic 9 Leather is yet another option. If you search this site, you should find pics of leather consoles done by Classic 9 Leather. The price is very reasonable.
But in my case, I went with OEM to ensure I had no regrets. I'm very happy that I did.

I think of it this way. The price of a new 911 is 5 times more than a typical Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy etc. Is it 5 times better?
For some yes, for others no.
In my case, I want to keep my Porsche pure OEM as much as possible. If I put in aftermarket "Ford" quality parts in my 911, in my mind it diminishes its Porsche-ness. To be honest, I was really tempted to go with non-OEM due to the price. But my wife knows me well. She said you won't be happy unless it's a true Porsche part and matches the rest of your interior perfectly. My wife was right.
But that's just me. Others on this site have gone the non-OEM route and are perfectly happy with the result.

All I know is that every time I've done something where money was the deciding factor I was sorry from a watchband to a suit to a home renovation to a front door etc.
If every time I look at it I say I wish I would've spent the extra $$$$$……and I ALWAYS wish I would've spent the extra $$$$;
There's a cost to letting the $$$ rule! So I do it right the first time but like Mspeedster says….that's just me!
Conversely when I go for the $$$$ and every time I look at it I get pleasure from it every single day then that's a value to me and why I spent it in the first place.
To each his own though….a value to me may not be to you!

P.S. The OEM is more than $3,500 if you do the entire console including all of the little but necessary parts!
