Default Looking at a new Gen 5 - options questions

After 11 years with my gen 4 I'm thinking about an upgrade. I have a few things that I want to find out before pulling the trigger on a new Big Horn.
Hows the halogen head lights? Is it worth it to upgrade to the LEDs? This is a game changer for me. (old eyes don't see as well in the dark) Spent a lotta cash converting to HIDs for my gen 4.
And the e-Torque? PIA or worth it? I didn't even know it existed. Don't do much long distance driving. But I do enjoy a quick getaway off a red light.
Anyone use the Android Auto with the Uconnect 4 instead of getting the NAV built in? Pros and cons?
Any info you can give will help. I'm swamped

I bought a 2020 Gran Cherokee with the LED lights. Very good lights, much better than the old Halogens. It has nav and Android auto. It is my wifes car and she much prefers the Nav and the cost isn't a lot. That said, I didn't order Nav in my 2021 2500 pickup because I rarely use Nav or Google Maps and with the Android if I ever need a map, I will jut plug in my phone.

The Cherokee has a "Sport" setting. It really ramps up the handling and accelration but I know nothing about Etorque and exactly how it works. It isn't an option on the 2500 with the 6.4 hemi I ordered.
