I know all the details known about the Scorpio so far. Until it's out, the only thing we can go with is the difference in theoretical peak performance based on it's revealed TFLOPS output. And that puts it in no different a ballpark from the PS4 Pro than the XBox One S is in relation to the regular PS4. a 40% difference is a 40% difference. The Scorpio will manage to hit a native 4k resolution in more games than the PS4 Pro (which will rarely hit it for AAA games). But that's the same with the PS4 vs XBox One, where the latter barely ever uses a 1080p frame buffer and relies more on upscaling or simply opt for a lower resolution like 900p, compared to the PS4 games that more often deliver native 1080p.
If the XBox One S and PS4 are in the same ballpark despite the power difference between both, then the same has to be said about the PS4 Pro and the Scorpio, since the power difference in both cases is the same.

There is a bigger difference between 1080p and 4k then 1080p and 900p first off. Second off 40% difference is different in this situation in terms of GPU. Imagine an ant that is 1 mm long and there is another ant that is 1.4 mm long. You can't tell the difference unless you get a magnifying glass and even then it isn't a big deal. Now if the ant is 1 yard long and the other is 1.4 yards long then you can tell the difference for sure. This is obviously a bit of an exageration, but shows as numbers get bigger than the difference between the two is not only bigger but more noticeable.

Nice analogy but it totally ignores the diminishing returns of technological advancement. You'll get a few more full 4k titles but it won't cover all.... Maybe just over 50% at 30fps.
On top of this, it will always be held back by the games that have to play on Xbox one particularly.
