Honestly, after you try a retina MacBook display - you can't possibly think that it's not a compelling feature worth upgrade. My old macbook air's screen looks like complete garbage now after I use new macbook pro's daily.

While I do like SE design too - the camera on that thing is just horrible by today's standarts

I’ve had various retina MBP since they came out as work laptops, and still use various non retina screens on some personal laptops.

In a vacuum, I guess the Retina display is nicer? It’s not something that I really find very noticeable, personally.

You mean, the iPhone 6S camera is horrible as well? Because the SE and the 6S share the same sensor... Sure, it doesn't have the AI-powered features of newer camera software and it also isn't a dual camera system, but I reckon it's still good. I prefer the Pixel 2 for photos to any iPhone anyway (still waiting for the new iPhone Xr/Xs features, fake bokeh effect et all, it may lives up to the Pixel's standards).
