Another nicely illustrated, helpfully detailed write-up.
My impressions are similar to your own. The new interior is nice enough that the Escalade's doesn't seem a large upgrade to me. Especially since the Caddy's copious amounts of similarly fake wood aren't sufficiently convincing.
I'm not so sure the power-folding seats are worthwhile, though. They only power release then spring forward; they must be manually returned to an upright position. $425 seems an excessive amount for this limited amount of functionality. A better-engineered manual release would be vastly preferable, even if it wouldn't provide as good a counter to the power folding (and unfolding) stowable third row in the Expedition. Yes, I smell the hand of marketing in this one.
