It's a bit quicker and a bit more responsive. Neither improvement was massive but they were noticeable. I felt the bigger difference was in reduced turbo lag, this was to the point where lag wasn't really noticeable.

I don't feel bad now about "just" having a 30D so I'm pleased I drove the car. Would I get a 35D if I were ordering now? Probably but it's not that big a deal, it would depend on the lease cost and also taking into account the higher road fund licence band and insurance costs.
Nice to see you drove one, it would improve power wise once loosened up, I find mine very quick, what sort of RPM's did you take it too?.
