I would suspect that most people not really familiar with MB will assume that MBTex is leather -- I did until I learned to tell the difference, and just to look, it's usually only the seat cover style that determines which is which -- the leather looks exactly like MBTex, or vise versa. Can't tell the diff unless you touch it.
