Fine suggestions here but after trying various strategies I get the impression that taste is exactly what's missing in this whole affair. He seems very set on aero carbon and the furthest I've been able to tempt him away from this rather boring mantra is an SL7. It's inappropriate and unnecessary and I'm 100% on board with what you're saying but you can't force a horse to drink.
As far as the budget goes, I basically interpret it as he wants the top end of whichever brand he plumps for in the end. The worst thing about it is I can't even write it off as a MAMIL crisis, dude hasn't hit 30 yet (facepalm).
