I just finished this. Had lots of fun most of the time, in some moments I was about to lose my cool, but overall a great experience.
I did enjoy it more than vanilla FE6, but in retrospect while I didn't enjoy some aspects of the vanilla gameplay, PE made me think about how some maps are pretty cool. With the PE units and mechanics, that is.
I still dislike the gaidens and all that jazz, especially not being able to get the true ending without all of them, but it is what it is. The story is still nothing special most of the time; I still like Zephiel as a concept but the execution was a bit bland. I did appreciate Idunn's story a lot more, especially the final cutscene with Fae.
I know a lot of diehard fans of FE6 will say PE is not better, I think it is. But at its core, it's still FE6, so my opinion on it is not nearly as bad as it used to be. In the end PE shares the same place in my heart as Conquest (great gameplay, mediocre story except in some parts), while vanilla FE6 is not abyss fiction anymore (that's for 3 Frauds).
