When you do a factory order (Vs. buying off dealer lot) you can change things and they are called "Specials". Specials cost less than you would think. For example, on our LADP we just ordered, we went with an Essex flooring, Essex counter tops, changed the back splash, added the Essex Navigation/radio plus passenger side slave nav, and changed exterior colors. We had 34 "specials". Even dealers will order specials on their floor units too. Midway does a lot with flooring and counter tops.
Your next question on % discount from MSRP is difficult to answer. How far are you willing to travel, are you taking factory delivery, do you have a trade, how long can you wait, does the dealer pass through the specials costs or do they mark-up, and will you put up with a lousy salesman for a little lower price.
We ditched the lowest price because of a rude salesman (would not talk to wife and was arrogant) and we ditched the highest price for same reason plus price. We ended up with a very nice and knowledgeable salesman who came close to the lowest price. The % off MSRP is a huge question because of how dealers figure the final numbers. If the dealer starts with an inflated MSRP then expect a larger % off, the important thing is the bottom line. You can expect 25 - 30 % in the end.
Good luck with your buying adventures.
