If you can find a pro led cheap like low 4000's then that is the way to go imo. Best game for the $$ period. Avoid heavily modded sold for premium prices. Might as well get a premium instead. Premium of course has extra features so it's a point on whether you think they are worth the extra money. I don't care for the hammer much or the rising cross. I can easily live without those. Spinners and light show add a lot to gameplay so I do miss not having those on my pro. You can add those in but looks like a bit of a pain to do so. Plus, added spinners cannot be integrated into the software since they are omitted in pro code. You can tie them to a pick target but that changes gameplay in an unwelcomed way imo.

That's all there is to it really. Even if you have the money to swing, saving $2000 is significant.
