My friend has the PE and if you are tall or wide or tall and wide the seats in the PE, I don't like them. Stage five clinger seats that are uncomfy. I have the GT and the seats are super comfy. So depends on what exactly you want. Comfy/Performance/X Factor.
Seat comfort is like asking which shoe is more comfortable. Personal preference.

I parked next to a GT at a car show and we both went back and forth between his GT and my GTPE to try the seats.

Neither of us could decide which we liked better. GT seats are slightly softer, GTPE seats are slightly more supportive.

But the difference is slight. We both had to go back and forth twice to draw any conclusions.

IMO, the only better feature that the GTPE has over the GT is the magniride l.
And the seats. Don't forget the seats. big difference between the GT and GT PE there. GT seats are worse than the Premium seats, and GT PE are nicer than both of those, and more supportive.

The biggest difference I can see is the suspension. The GTPE has a huge advantage on rough roads. If you live where the roads are in good shape it's not a big deal. If like me the city you live in just lowered the speed limit to 20mph because the roads are that bad it would make.

So seats and seat comfort are really big factors too. The kia EV6 GT was on my list of cars when I bought the MME GTPE. So I went in a test drive and couldn't adjust the seat to a conferable position for me. That made the decision easy
