The diesel premium isn't that bad actually. It's just a $1,655 option on the Limited. However, you must get the Limited to get the diesel; if you'd like the diesel engine without the glitz of the Limited, you're out of luck, and would end up paying thousands extra for stuff you don't want or need.

EDIT: Just checked TrueDelta; the price of the diesel is about $800 more between the Hemi and the diesel for both the Overland and the Limited - however, the Hemis have an $8,000 rebate and the diesels have a $6,000 rebate, so that jacks up the difference to $2,800.

Yea I thought the Diesel would be a $3k to $5k option. Still the price difference is fairly big and would prevent most people from buying. One thing the Diesel has though is better resale value. Since you driven a recent Grand Cherokee how did you find the rear legroom? I heard bad things about the second row legroom.
