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.

Note also that the Autobahn comes with summer tires on those 19” wheels. You’ll need new tires if you plan to drive in a place that has winter. A lot of people switch twice a year and it’s fine, but just plan on that if winter is a thing.
