I DD’ed a 2021 1SS for about a year and I sold it and DD a 1SS 1LE now. Both were A10. I found the 1SS non-1LE got much better gas mileage (22 avg MPG) and currently I get about 16-18 MPG in my 1LE. I drove both very aggressively. Obviously, the 1SS non-1LE handled bumps a lot easier and I’ve had to get used to the 1LE tbh. I don’t mind the bumps from a comfort stand point - I just felt like I might be damaging the suspension with how stiff it is. (Which I’m still unsure about). Believe it or not I had no change in my insurance when I switched - not sure if that’s going to be the case now that I’m in Texas.

I still enjoy my 1LE more. Track mode is definitely tuned differently in the 1LE because it is much more aggressive. I enjoy having the PDR (truly is an amazing feature.) also, I agree with the comments about tires. Moving from dry and hot Phoenix to somewhat cold and wet Dallas is a huge difference. I am spinning out like crazy. Plus the tires will wear very quickly. I’m at 6k and I’m pretty sure I’ll need tires soon. I know both cars pretty much had the same tires except that the regular SS has run flats and smaller wheels. Anyways, hope this help your decision!

Ohh - one more thing to note. I truly believe the top end on the 1LE is a bit slower because of the weight difference (1LE is about 100 lbs heavier I believe) and bigger wheels and tires. The wider tires want to follow every curve in the road.
