I own/have owned, XC90's with each flavour of seat and the R Deisgn leather is without doubt more duravle, even with a 6'5" 275lb lump like me dragging their backside across it.
None of mine have suffered the switch panel cracking, but I can see that of the three (now 2 as of a fortnight ago) the R Design is least likely to suffer as the seats show the wear less and hold the shape of the bolsters better.
Good luck finding a set though.
