You get a good bit more than that - PE sets up the ActiveMQ stuff for you and handles key setup/exchange, which is fairly difficult to do by hand the first time if you aren't familiar with the stuff. As it is, any PE node you add to your PE master automatically gets added to your mcollective environment, which is quite nice.
