I bought a pro after playing both versions at MGC. While it's potentially saddening to lose the MB up top, my main reasons for going pro over pre/le was the upper pf blocked a lot of what I liked seeing from the lower pf (even though the majority is transparent). The 3 lock up top were also a bit easy to get under current code so while I hate to give it up.... I enjoyed the pro a bit more if I was honest with myself and the price made it an easier call. First pro in the collection, but one I'm more than happy with.
Excited to join the club and hope everyone is ultimately happy with their respective choices on version. Good game, great audio \m/
