Default Shopping, Questions about F-Type R options

I used to have a 2016 F-Type R. Now looking for a 2018 F-Type R

2016 had Premium sound. It was horrible.
The two 2018s I am looking at have Branded Surround Sound sys (L4) or Branded Sound Sys (L3)
How do they sound compared to the 2016 sound system?

The 2016 options list in TOPIx calls out: "R performance Brake Program"
The two 2018s say nothing like this about the brakes. Can I safely assume the 2018s have the same brakes as my 2016 did?

Dunno much about the sound systems except that AFAIK there was no change from 2016 to 2018 and the only options were 380 watt "plain" Meridian or 770 watt surround sound Meridian. The only easy way to tell the difference just by looking is the badges on the door panels, the plain Jane version has just Meridian while the surround sound version has "surround" as well under the Meridian badge.
The brakes will be exactly the same, excluding the CCM brakes all Rs come with the "super performance" brakes 380 mm front and 376 mm rear.

great, thanks for the response. Sounds like they just changed the designation on all of those items. Nice to see the later 2018+ cars can have cooled seats (for California)
