I’m also ordering a new Edge on Sat. 
I went with the AWD package because we do get a little snow were I live (southern Ontario, Canada) and my job requires me to report for duty regardless of weather / road conditions.  I have been driving an AWD ’02 Durango R/T till this point and found that the AWD also helps with traction in wet weather when you want to “punch it” off the lights. 
I’ll be getting a Limited, Earth tone (brown metallic) with no sunroof and no blind spot system for the same reasons as mentioned in this thread.  I am opting for the 20” wheels however. 
It will be a lease for business use… cough, cough!!
