I have driven both. Lots of nit picks (fog lights, lack of review mirror camera in 1LE, etc) but to me it is really down to a few major points.
1. 1LE add track suspension, tires and aero. If you are not tracking, these are complete downsides even though they are cool to say you have them. On most streets they are probably slower than the non 1LE due to overly stiff suspension and perpetually cold tires.
2. Suspension. Did I mention that. Dang the 1LE is stiff. ZL1 mag ride is awesome on the street.
3. 1LE has shorter 6th gear which is nice to me, but maybe not so nice if you do lots of higher speed highway.
4. Solid rear cradle bushings on 1LE are really nice from factory....wish I had those, but I do intend to track my non-1LE and they are a PITA to install
Other differences are minor. If the price was the same I'd still get the non 1LE even though I am tracking a few times a year mostly due to mag shocks being suited to quick street driving vs. 1LE needing a smooth track to feel at home.
My perfect mix would be mag suspension, 1LE aero, 1LE wheels but with SC3 tires, solid rear subframe, and shorter 6th. Oh and give me those red calipers for some bling.
