You have made the best choice you could have made. I speak from experience, that being the trip I've been on since I bought my '06 SE 4x4 two Octobers ago. You bought the silkiest six-speed on the market...ain't it great?! My only gripe is that Nissan has no clue how many guys would buy a NISMO CREW CAB STICK! The six-speed was much more important to me than the Bilstein shocks, so it had to be the SE for me. I added the fog lamps and the OEM signal/headlamp stalk that has the fog lamp switch on it, about $325, and I'm satisfied that mine is the only SE with fog lamps around these parts ;-)
47,320 miles on it now, and I have given up waiting for something to go wrong with it.
One suggestion: do NOT allow service advisors to sell you a manual trans oil change until 50K. I allowed them to do it at 36K, and the silky shifting disappeared. The spec replacement oil? Humbug, Nissan knows it isn't the same as the factory fill. I had to get the local zone rep to OK a free drain/fill with a 50/50 mix of the spec oil and *Dexron*. It now shifts the way it used to shift.
All the best! You're gonna love the ride.
