That's a HUGE change! I'm sure you felt that! Going from 4.1 to 4.3 is not really noticeable IMO.

The biggest change for me was the suspension. I swapped 2017 Shocks/Springs/Sways on my 2013 a few years ago and it made the car more comfortable, more planted, and better behaved.

Aside from the suspension, the only 2017+ change I really liked was the new cluster with the info display, and track mode. I have since installed both into my 13 as well, works very nicely.

The PP shocks were too stiff at high frequencies, especially the front end bounces all over the place. The brakes felt slightly spongier than on my 13. I already had the facelift tail lights and ended up going back to the stock ones so that wasn't a huge bonus either, and I like the styling of the pre-facelift better overall.
