Does Magneride make that much of a difference?

I have a GT that is in the shop for the HVBJB repair. They gave me a GTPE to drive. While I’ve only driven it about 25 miles, the ride difference is real! Much better ride. And a little more acceleration. Not sure they are worth $5k.

Brembo brakes, sport seats and magnaride is a steal. 34 torque is the cream.

Plus lighter wheels, stickier summer performance tires and stiffer front and rear sway bars.

I drove my 21 MME Premium (no Magna Ride) for year and half.
I've been driving my 23 MME PE (with Magna Ride) for last 5 months.

Yes, there is a noticeable, difference for the better with MR. The big plus I noticed: No longer have all that bounciness. Still stiff suspension, but in a good way.

Just my unbiased opinion here…
I was a MagneRide denier. I had a 2021 GT for 9 months. Than a Lightning. Most recently I drove a 2023 GT for a week, then today purchase a GTPE and immediately put 300 miles on it of familiar road. I can say without a doubt the MagneRide makes a difference. It’s not earth shattering, but it is definitely smoother over bumps, hugs curves a little tighter, and feels more comfortable and quiet on my body. It’s a big improvement. Do I think that alone is work 6k? No. If it was 3k, I wouldn’t even hesitate. Good thing MagneRide isn’t the only difference in the PE!

As a side note, I was worried the seat bolsters would not be comfortable on a very tall frame, but they are just fine. Comfy and supportive. It’s really a great package.

I got a GT-PE for two reasons: Bigger brakes and Magneride. ?? The seat fit for a canine was the cream on top of the ice cream. ??
