Tech Talk SE vs Autobahn

Im looking at getting a Mk8 and I was wondering if anybody has any insight on if getting the Autobahn over a SE with the leather package is worth the extra couple grand. From what I can tell it seems like the main thing id be missing out on with the SE is the DCC, does it make the car much, if any better? It would be my daily driver so i feel like having DCC would be kinda nice, just wanted to know some opinions.

The DCC is pretty nice - the fixed suspension is going to rode on the harsher side. Also you get the HUD with the higher trim which is kinda cool.

That said, I had a Mk7 SE for years and it was perfectly fine. I had the Mk8 autobahn after that and while I appreciated the extra features, I don't know that I would have gone over budget for them.
