Having come from a mk5 myself (I've had two, one TDI and one GTI), and a host of other VW GTIs and Cupras before, I don't think the mk6 offers anything above the mk5 apart from added 'refinement' and better fuel economy.
I got shot of my mk5 for a few reasons (mostly due to impending expenditure), but it was an early one, never saw the point in getting a later model as they actually had less standard spec and looked the same. I did however consider an ED30 and Pirelli before I plumped for the mk6.
As Snoopy says, there are a million and one arguments for either car (which is basically the same car) depending on your personal tastes and circumstances, but as your car is so new it makes little financial or driving sense.
If I were wearing your boots I'd stick with the ED30 and improve it slightly (Koni FSD dampers, Black Detroit alloys and a dash of Revo). But that's not your thing so I can't really answer it for you aside from give you my opinion which is the same as Snoopy's. And unlike Snoops I do like to change my cars like my underwear (about once a year!!!!).
