Welcome to the forum!
I haven't tested any of the two cars, so my point of view is entirely based on tech specs.
I am sure both are good engines, but to me the difference in consumption isn't big enough to justify the ED as long as there are more important qualities in the D.
Intermediate acceleration is an everyday quality that you enjoy each and every minute you are behind the weel. Not the (almost identical) consumption figures!
I know ED owners are happy with the car, and from the specs it is a good and competitive car.
But to me it would be a matter of driving pleasure. So I'd picked the 116D
