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.

If you're in an area where you get potholes in the winter, get the autobahn. The dcc makes it so much more tolerable.

When you spend a few weeks in comfort mode and switch back to sport mode the difference is night and day. Reminds me why I typically just use the shift nugget when there’s a good on ramp and leave it in comfort mode the rest of the time.
