Reasons of getting the AMG GLE43 over regular GLE350 other than HP?

Like the title says, can someone give me some reasons of getting the new AMG GLE43 (normal SUV version, not the hideous coupe) over the normal GLE350 other than horsepower and speed? I'm interested in it but don't know if it's worth the money. It looks so much better though. But I just need someone to convince me lol! Also why isn't the AMG GLE43 listed in the AMG vehicle category? Haven't updated yet?

None other, just sportier, louder and more expensive to fix. My wife actually chose 350 over AMG because it is more comfortable.

Why not look for a 400? Or are you wanting new?

No more expensive to fix under warranty, looks better, can get more options for less money. Resale, once the next gen come out that can't tow as much.
