I don't really agree with the comments about coil-spring solid axle vehicles needing to be uncomfortable...with the right coil/shock combo and some nice lambswool seat covers, my D2 is very comfortable and still handles very well (ACE helps of course). My D2 feels much more nimble and handles better than my L322, which rolled more and understeered, being a much heavier vehicle with a lot of weight in the nose (TDV8). My D2 with coils all round is just as comfortable on dirt as my L322 was and I don't have the hassles of things going wrong with the air suspension. Lighter vehicles are also much easier on tyres/brakes/suspension/steering components as well of course...the wear and tear on the L322 was much greater than D2 and I presume the Ineos is a fair bit lighter than the new 110 Deefer.
My main concern about the Ineos would be the BMW mechanicals, although on balance, over a long-term timeframe, I suspect the Ineos may have fewer glitches than the new Deefer. Having said that, probably a good idea to buy the second iteration of the Ineos to give them a chance to improve a few things...
