Mahindra BE6 Test Drive Experience: Pack 1 or Pack2?

Took a proper test drive of the BE 6 today. Dealership brought the top-spec Pack 3 (79 kWh) to my office itself so me and my wife both could try it comfortably. We work at the same office.
Car drives amazingly well – super smooth, punchy and composed. Only small gripe some plastics here and there feel a bit cheap, but not a deal breaker.
I’m actually planning to book Pack 1 (59 kWh), but after driving the loaded one, 360 cam, ADAS etc felt really nice. But it is way outside my budget.

Question: is Pack 2 really worth the extra ~3 lakh over Pack 1 (same battery, same range)? Or should I just stick to Pack 1 and save the money?
People who skipped the higher packs, any regrets? People who paid extra, do you use those features daily?

I am planning a test drive for Creta soon, but I dont think the driving pleasure will be the same

The main upgrades from Pack 1 to Pack 2 will involve the ADAS which will not involve all features but will be 1 radar + 1 camera based. The music system will be an upgrade with a 16 speaker Harmon system and if you like glassroofs (not sunroof). You will also get dual zone climate control. 360° camera is available from Pack 3 select variant. You can test drive creta electric as well but the drive will not be the same at all as you mentioned. But that offers ADAS and 360° camera in the top model only which is out of your budget. Though my preference will be BE6 over Creta but you should definitely take a test drive and decide for yourself. Just a question from my side, will only 2 people be using the car?

We are only 2 occupants for the car. We work in the same office and will travel from Noida to Gurgaon from Monday to Friday. Both of us drive and we both did the test drive. A mall/restaurant visit over the weekends. I don't do car trips as I prefer not to drive on my vacation.

With lifetime warranty on offer and being a born EV with lfp batteries and blade cells, my suggestion will be to go for the BE6. Features wise it is same as Creta for the base variant. If you like the added features of the pack 2 and it fits your budget then go for it. If not in any hurry then wait for January stock clearance deals.

XEV is too big for us. And 79kWh battery seems like an added investment which will not be worthy for my requirements. This is my original requirement https://forum.evelectree.com/post/ad4c2da2-d8da-4378-9e97-3b5ef8b7ff67 It is going to be either BE6 or Creta.

If you don't want the 79 kWh, opt for pack 2 at 59 kWh as you get L2 ADAS. Irrespective of Pack 1 or Pack 2, BE6 scores over Creta when you see it from a Nuclear family usage standpoint. It is a driver's car

I have decided to go for BE6 Pack 2. Thanks to all of you for the guidance.
