Ok guys.  Im all red here and looking to upgrade tractors.  I have looked extensively at many different tractors and really like the 275.  Is it really worth the extra money to have the ILS and IVT on the deere.  For the most part apples to apples they are close to the same price without throwing in those 2 options.  The only real reason why I would go with the deere is 2 factors, ILS and IVT.  Efficiency wise after some rough number crunching, I figure I could save about a gallon an hour (at most) from tractor test data that I have looked at.  With a 20-25K price tag on those two options it would take about 7000 hrs to pay for it.  How much nicer really is the ILS?  I do like the cabs of the Magnums a lot better (performance monitor and such).  As far as auto steer and GPS, it does not matter to me either way, I will not be using either manufacturers.
