Default Pre-Sense vs Pre-Sense plus on A7

Does anyone have the Pre-Sense Plus and can you let me know if that's 'practically' more useful than the pre-sense? I drive mainly in a city and on a major highway, sometimes in major snow.

Presense/Plus is a safety system. Presense includes rear impact warning. Alarm, seatbelts tighten, windows roll up and I believe possibly the brakes are applied. Presense Plus would include the Presense rear and adds Presense Front which also warns via a visual indication when too close to a moving vehicle in front, then a chime and then the brakes will be applied as needed to try and stop the car before a collision (braking guard). ACC (Auto Cruise control) works in conjunction with Presense front. The next generation of A6/A7 will also add Presense Traffic, cross traffic and pedestrian detection as included with the new 2017 Q7 and A4.
