Having driven an earlier 15 and having my 16 on 2018+ iStep, definitely a difference, less spikey/hairy and DCT (pre-GTS flash) was a bit less fussy

The iStep in most base cars was never updated but mine was. I only updated mine in 2018 in advance of installing the MPHAS because it was recommended. It didn't do much other than get rid of the dead zone in the middle of the steering wheel and I drove with the latest iStep for about 3 weeks until I had the springs installed at recommended height.
The spring rates and dampers on the ZCP made a lot more difference to the driving experience than the iStep upgrades.
You're talking to the one guy that did everything and I mean everything to turn his base into a ZCP.
I was going to order an F80 ZCP 6MT in Fire Orange but they went out of production earlier than expected and my order was cancelled. Ended up in a DCT CS.
