First - I do not own EZ, I'm still OK with regular M&P9
But having both in hand one day this is what I can say:
It's mostly personal preference. Is it worthy? You will have to decide by yourself.
For me personally the ONLY advantage of PC would be factory flat trigger. No other "upgrades" are for me. I don't like ported barrel nor ported slide. Even the sights are better on PC I would probably change them to Trijicon HD (which are my favorite and installed on almost all of my handguns).
PC has one downgrade comparing to regular EZ - grip safety which is made from aluminum... feels oddly and uncomfortably.
