I'll assume both cars are manual given that the AB had a clutch upgrade. 30k service is an oil change and a brake flush, hardly a huge undertaking. To me the PP is all but useless in a daily driven errand car. You won't ever notice the brakes or the limited slip unless you're pushing the car harder than you should be on the road. The sad part about the 15-16 cars is that there isn't too much difference between the SE and the AB. Dual zone climate (which I am a huge fan of BTW) and the full power driver seat (which I couldn't care less about, my wife matches my height from the waist down). Both have leather, Fender audio and a sunroof. Being 16+ they both have MIB2 which is a huge plus and you can easily upgrade either car to the larger screen if so desired. I would say that if a tune were ever in your future even remotely then I would certainly go for the car with the upgraded clutch. Even if you do it yourself, which I don't necessarily recommend because my MK6 was the worst clutch job I've ever done, then you're looking at 1K+ in parts alone. Both are out of the powertrain warranty at this point so an aftermarket warranty for peace of mind if you so choose shouldn't be too much cost different. At the end of the day I think both cars are overpriced. I sold my one owner, perfectly maintained 15 SE DSG w/ LP and lots of upgrades at 54k miles for 16k private party in 2019.
