Am I Going to Regret Not Getting a ZCP E46 M3?

Just sold my ZCP F80, in the market for an E46. Usually I'd default to a ZCP E46, but they're quite a headache to find here in CA. I've been looking for months for the right one. Don't want to jump into a non-ZCP quickly if there are big benefits to holding out for a ZCP.

Am I going to have a ton of heartburn if I don't get the ZCP?

From what I understand, the benefits are:
- BBS 19 inch wheels (I'd probably replace a non-ZCP car with Apex wheels in this exact style so not a big deal)
- Alcantara wheel and e-brake (buttons deleted, M track mode button)
- the CSL's steering rack
- Cross drilled rotors

Are there any other big things I'm missing? In my F80, the suspension and the HP/TQ were both changed in the ZCP but I don't see mention of that.

Am I going to regret not having the "M Track Mode" or is it all preference? Drove my F80 with M1 having DSC on and M2 having DSC off. I'm not too torn up about getting to keep my volume control and cruise control buttons.
