The PS4 Pro had a big GPU power increase while the CPU was only slightly better. Games on the Pro often had higher visual settings but a lot of the visual improvement was from increasing resolution so if something was say 1080p on the base PS4 it could be a significantly higher resolution upscaled to 4K on the Pro. The rumours point to a much smaller rasterisation improvement this time around but a big improvement in ray tracing which if true means the benefits per game will mostly come down to how hard a game pushes ray tracing.

That makes sense and explains a lot.  Don't get me wrong, resolution is nice, but I think we have hit a point where it doesn't have the impact it once had.  Something like RT or ultra settings has way more impact than going from 1080p to 1440p to 4k.  

I think someone looking to buy should go Pro, but someone with the old model, I think the cost of entry is too high and the upgrade just isn't there.  

Edit

Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I'll drop resolution before fps and ultra settings.  

There will be quality and performance modes and the former should have the settings including RT turned up on it with a sacrifice to resolution. I do wonder how it'll sell compared to the PS4 Pro since Microsoft is seemingly not releasing a more powerful revision this time around so it'll have the advantage of being the most powerful console for a few years but should also be hundreds more expensive than the PS4 Pro was.
