Anyone with Range anxiety with these newer lithium carts is not informed. I have a Yamaha and a D5 and I prefer the D5, but unfortunately my wife gets first dibs since it is technically her cart.

I have the 205ah. I would NOT have bought a D5 if all they had was a 160ah battery. I'm as far north as you get in The Villages - in Phillips Villas, north east of Lopez. With the 205ah I can comfortably get to the sourthern courses, play 18, and have 20%-30% battery left when I get home.
With a 160ah, playing Bonifay, Belle Glade, or Evans Prairie would take the battery below 10% - at which point the cart drops to less than 10mph (limp mode). I would not be able to take my cart to Southern Oaks or Shallow Creek and play 18.
The 160ah will get you range in the mid 50's. The 205ah takes you to low 70's. Much more comfortable with that.
In summary, if you live in the middle of The Villages then the 160ah will get you anywhere you need to go. If you live in either extreme end you need the 205ah.
