Be aware that you will get nothing except base spec with the 5 seater - everything is n/a or optional.
I have the TDV6 SE model for DK market. I have the following extras compared to 5 seat base that i would not consider being without..
Auto box - very nice box on the disco 3
Cruise - a must for long trips
Air suspension - this rocks
Bi-Xenon headlights - instaday at the flick of a switch
Auto climate system - well a tad better than manual, not perfect.
Wiper rain sensor - could be better but works for me.
Electronic rear view mirror dip (darken) - very good.
Heated front screen and seats - fast and comfy
Rear park distance sensor - which did not keep me from backing in to a post today (rubber luckily). I wasnt listening to the signal though as i thought it was the curb being "sensed".
Powerfold mirrors - a must in a country where cyclists are insane.
Lots more stuff but less significant, makes me the almost perfect car though all together.
Cheers
Jakob

Air Suspension and Terrain Response are the biggies
My S has everything listed above except the powerfold mirros and xenons

the general opinion seems to be the 5 seat is harder to sell, more limited for kids etc. 2007 TDV6 HSE 'Silver Lady'. With 'free' privacy glass LOL.
Taking the greenpi$$ is: Green taxing your citizens more & using some of the money to buy nukes.
I got a 07MY GS (base 7) that has a few enhancements from last years base model. It also has 7 seats and is incomparable to the base 5 in terms of air suspension, terrain response, rear parking semsors etc....
If you hunt round you will get one for the same sort of money as "list" on a base 5....
Think 5 to 10% discount if you time your purchase well... pm me for more details of my deal if needed."To finish first, one first has to finish ...."
