From the reports I have read and looking at the owners manual, here is my take.

Non-Z51 will ride with what they consider tour mode.
Z51 will have a tight and stiffer than normal ride.
Z51 w/MSRC will ride is if in tour w/Gen 3 MSRC handling ruff roads, put it in Sport and the ride changes to handle twisty roads, put it in track and it will exceed the Z51 handling on the track.

The Z51 package is a steal for the price you pay but if you don't track the car MSRC is a must and also a steal considering it's cost and who licenses it from GM, Finally not that resale is a consideration, but those two items will command the most on resale and buyers buying second hand Corvettes usually want the sport options.

Also the aero on the Z51 is only spoiler in the rear and vents on side rear fenders for the coolers, no front splitter.
