You could test drive both and find out. Then you'll know for sure which one feels better.

From my limited knowledge. The sport model has the ultra firm suspension.
I have a sport quattro, and the ride is very firm.

The Sport has firmer suspension - very grippy in corners but if there are lot of speed bumps near your house you will notice it, you feel pretty much every bump in the road.

On the other hand SE has lots of faux wood, which personally I can't stand, so Sport it was.

the wood and the steering wheel put me off the SE

Thank you for all your replies.

I think I will have to try it I after I decide if I like it or not.

I have a week old S-Line Sportback with the sports suspension, and around town you'll feel every stone on the road, believe me.

However, if, like me, you do lots of motorway/A-Road driving, it's excellent, grippy and flat through corners with no hint of body roll.
I have driven an SE, which is more comfortable around town, but a bit wallowy around corners and loses grip quickly if you enter a corner a bit too quickly...

Your choice though - you'll need to assess your driving and needs, then try the cars out.
I'd personally try the Sport, and if you don't like it, then go for the SE.
