My D5 is 215hp and I'm sure I'd not really notice the extra 15hp, but others here say its not the raw figures its drivability, but perhaps its cos they have slush boxes and any improvement helps and mines a sweet changing manual....

Yep, mines a manual also.
No the extra bhp is hardly notable against the flattened torque curve, that's what makes the difference, especially when towing . Once moving the lower 3 gears in the box are virtually redundant.
If you enjoy driving the smile factor is worth every penny, even at full cost in my view. I live in a county with no motorways or dual carriageways, on twisting A and B roads it's a joy.
