Other than resale value, the VTi Oriel manual transmission version is a treat to drive. And yes, Oriel manual does come with cruise. I've used it many times on motorway and it does a wonderful job of keeping you relaxed. I bought mine in 2016 and so far the experience has been good.
Except for the transmission, there is no difference between the VTi Oriel MT and VTi Oriel Prosmatec.
