GTI SE or Autobahn

The 2024 Autobahn I looked at earlier has been sold. My question is, do I really need the Autobahn trim?

I want leather and power seats, but I can get those with the SE. Is the upgraded suspension really worth the extra $3K–$4K? If I go with the SE, can I upgrade the suspension later for a better ride, and how much would that cost?

TIA 🙏
