Absolutely, I hope you get lucky, I have been looking to replace my wife's 4yr old Golf and wondered about the Born, but the Matrix light omission was a killer for me plus my Family was a lot cheaper than a Born was looking so I felt doubly challenged.
Indeed. Absolutely the same quandary here. Mrs Daern loved the matrix headlights (driving around at night on full beam all of the time will *never* get boring!), but she also loved the poke in the Pro Performance model (for various reasons, it wasn't really possible to get a Pro Performance ID.3 at a sensible price, and a sensible timeframe) so we'd had to compromise a bit with the Family Pro ID.3, which was priced excellently. It all came down to leadtimes in the end which led us to pay a bit more money for the Born V2. Not an easy decision at all, I'll be honest, and as of right now, I'd probably accept whichever car turned up first!
Both would be excellent cars and we wouldn't have been unhappy with either. Had it been a case of "place order, receive car next week", we'd have the better priced (if a bit less powerful) ID.3 Family Pro I'm sure.
FWIW, I reckon a model revision will see the Born get the matrix lights eventually anyway...probably with a price hike to go with it!
