It's horses for courses and Simon and I have danced this particular dance many times before. Unlike Simon, since about 2003 I have always had a grandstand seat and would always buy one now. It really depends on how you like to do Le Mans. Our group are quite 'studious' about the race and like to sit and watch qually and the race for quite long periods as strategies unfold. It's not unusual for us to stay in our grandstand seats for 4-5 hours after the start of the race, another hour or two around midnight and then a couple of hours at the end of the race. We get good value out of them! On the other hand, if you're a roamer or if you're going to go off for lengthy periods at the bars, or dare I say if you're going to commit the heinous sin of sleeping during the night, perhaps a grandstand seat isn't for you!
