You would need to give us more information.  

What is the itinerary and the length of the voyage?

With a PV you have extra space

Free pressing

Earlier choices of excursions, dining and spa -- although that's neither here nor there.

Are you comparing a PV1 to a DV6?

 

Much more information is required.

The sailing is too soon so the excursions, dining and spa reservations have already opened to both.  It is for the iconic canada, iceland and greenland cruise for 14 days.  Comparing a DV 4 to PV1.

I just looked at sailings in 2024 and there’s $4500 difference between a PV1 and a DV4, so it seems you got a deal.

Cabin square footage includes the balcony. ES cabin interiors are all exactly the same. It is the only the balconies that differ in size.

Really? Maybe within the same ES class...  But anyway it's the location that matters

That depends on your point of view (literally). Viking upgraded us from DV to PV (both on deck 6) on our recent Northern Lights trip.   The extra room was nice, although even with the all of the extra heavy “woolies” needed for winter trip still found that we did not use much of the extra storage space.   We did not use the pressing service, although we knew it was available.   
We loved the cabin and its location (a bit more aft from our original cabin).   However, the extra overhang from the flare for Deck 7 obstructed our view “up”.  Since NL trips involve looking “up”, we were a bit disappointed…. And would have rathered our original cabin, which was not affected by the flare.

As I told my TA, overall was very thankful for the upgrade (this was our 11th Viking trip, and first time we ever got upgraded), for us it it not worth paying the extra $ for the PV, and will stick with our DV choice going forward.YMMV
