Basically, you get a high trim level with leather seating/interior with the R, plus more HP (~292), plus Haldex AWD, vs. the GTI. Then, perhaps you get a better transmission if what you want is an automatic and the DSG is better than the automatic transmission on the GTI. The 6MT is presumably the same in both vehicles, as are the brakes.
It comes down to dollars and cents and what you want for what you pay.

Creature comforts are relatively unimportant to me but I'm just wondering about the fun-to-drive factor and driving dynamics. Anyway, I suppose this thread is about the M2 ...
