I have specced auto a/c in the past and in my opinion waste of money over standard a/c. But I do agree dash does look better, and you get a nice digital read out of the temp.

Me too, having had cars with both over the past 20 years, the climate control just isn't worth it, particularly in a smaller car like the Up.

Lots more to go wrong too, the Passat / Audi A4 / Audi A6's I've had in the past, worked great for 4/5 years, then became really problematic, and took regular
( more than once a year), maintenance to keep it working properly.
Depends how long you're planning to keep the car, and how much you want that better look to the dash. IMO ordinary aircon is perfectly good.

Correct. I forgot about the electrics going wrong with auto a/c. At least with standard a/c there is just a manual knob which should last for ever.
