Big differences:

Dual zone HVAC
Alcantara seats
Heated seats (if you live in a colder climate)
Foglights
Spoiler
Keyless Push-button start

Minor differences:
Lights on mirrors in the visor
Courtesy lights on doors
Heated seats (if you live in a warmer climate)
Heated side mirrors
Alarm
14 lbs weight increase

As a rule of thumb, I'd say this - there are about five and a half major differences between the trim levels. If there are three or more of them that you really want, it's probably worth it, but if there aren't, it might be easier to do those things individually.

For me, I wanted alcantara seats (the cloth seats just look so cheap to me), heated seats, and keyless start. I was take-it-or-leave it on the spoiler and HVAC (At first I didn't like the spoiler but it grew on me, and supposedly it actually improves the aerodynamics of the car. I rarely use dual zones on the HVAC, but I do like being able to set a temperature and maintain it, and it looks a million times nicer), and I still don't like / have never used the foglights.
