Buying a new Ford Galaxy - which would you recommend?

I am undecided which model Galaxy would be the better buy, short and long term. I drive 10,000 miles p.a mostly local journeys but with a 180 mile round trip each fortnight. The car will also make two or three trips to France each year. Do you also have any suggestions as to additional optional extras or wheel sizes?

Addison Lee runs 140PS TDCI Powershifts. About 3,000 Galaxys altogether, most of which will now be Powershifts. The Petrol ecoboost is quicker and nicer to drive, and has a chain cam engine. Test of the S-Max fitted with this set-up here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/ford/ford-s-max-20.../
