Differences internship PE vs. IB & Consulting

I am considering to apply for PE internships after having done internships in IB (coverage group) and consulting (CDD project). 

PE longterm could be an option for me, as both my prior internships were quite fun and I enjoyed the work. Will I be able to learn a lot of new things in a PE internship or will the internship be very simmilar to my IB and consulting experience? My other option would be to go to a startup, even though I currently desire more corporate jobs as PE. Still my top priority is to learn something new.
