XTR Safety Plus pack - Grip Control ESC - opinions?

Anyone got this? How do you rate it?

My mrs is getting my old Octavia Scout 4x4 when I get the Berlingo. The Scout is excellent in snow. It's only a few times a year I'm really grateful for it but I'm tempted by this option.

I had researched this extensively when I was about to buy my Berli in 2010. On berlingo.org general opinion was that it offered little, if anything, other than to lighten ones wallet. Over priced software.

I added it to my order at the last minute. By the time I'd priced up steels wheels, trims & Kumho winter tyres it was getting pretty pricey - a chunk more than this option at £400. The 205/65/15 steelies that come with this option have Michelin Latitude Tour HP's mud & snow tyres fitted that get good winter reviews so I'll settle for that until they need changing. I'll then decide whether to continue with them or go back to a set of summers on steels/alloys & winters on steels. Plenty time to find some wheels going cheap. Plus curtain airbags come with the package (Safety Plus Pack) which is a bonus

I’m looking for a Berlingo now and wanted one with grip control. Does it actually make a diffence?

Got my XTR in 2020 but didn't go for this option
