I have the Zaino products, so obviously I'm a bit biased.

Save yourself the $40. Why do you need all those applicators?
I vacuum my interior, then use a micro-fiber towel to rub in the Z9, then apply the Z10 by hand.

If you really want the same applicators, use these:
terry cloth pad
micro-fiber towel
and I'm sure you can find a brush at auto-zone or something for a few bucks.

Leatherique and Zaino are pretty different in terms of leather care; most people will never need Leatherique, why? It's essentially an industrial grade cleaner/conditioner that's designed more for "restoring" faded, dry, cracked, and neglected leather. I have it and use it on cars that haven't had their leather conditioned for years - the application is a lot more involved than Zaino; whereas Zaino is "apply and buff off", leatherique pristine clean is a "scrub and scrub" product and rejuvinator oil is an "apply and let sit for 8 hours, then scrub off" product.

In general Leatherique will have more of a noticeable advantage on uncoated leather too, which 99% of BMWs are not; so as you can tell in a case where you're just maintaining well cared for leather, you're probably better off with Zaino because it's easier, you don't need the added strength of leatherique, and, best of all, Zaino Z9/Z10 smell awesome.

The only thing you need to think about with Zaino is that you don't want to over-condition (which you will want to since it smells so good!); 2-4 months max.
