No regrets with our two LEAFs.
A couple things:
1) I also think you won't regret having the 50A line for level 2 charging at home. Yes, you can get by with level 1, but with level 2 and the 6.6 kwh charger (if you don't get the S model without the charging package) you can recharge in under 4 hours. Most first time LEAFers find that they use the LEAF for a lot more than they thought they would, so having the car charged up faster really helps.
2) The LEAF was significantly improved starting in 2013 with a lot of small but important feature changes and a revised battery chemistry and more range. A lot of the issues you'll read about on this board from the first two years (2011-2012) are either resolved now or have significantly less impact.
