I also have experienced GH.com, GHE on prem, and (now) twice GL on prem. There's absolutely zero comparison between how hungry the GL team is as compared to GH(E). I appreciate that GH is the gorilla in the room, and "nobody got fired for going with GH" but there's a new feature packed release every month from GL, and it comes batteries included.
I do have a huge amount of frustration with GL's open core system where it seems they use a dartboard for deciding what level to make open source, or ultra-enterprise $$$$, and their issue tracker is the definition of chaos, but nothing's perfect, I guess.
A lot of words to say that I agree with you: short of your team/company already being locked into the GH world, I can't imagine going back to GH
