Yeah, that's a weird review. Personally I'd have buyers remorse even if the PRO was a vast upgrade, I'd simply focus on spending 890 euro and I'd feel bad, same thing happened to me with a TV after finding out lower cost mide range TV's are so advanced now that there is such a small difference. 

Alas, I'm probably power than you. 

Buyer's remorse didn't go away after I got a windfall from work, I guess it fades with age. I'm 50. Or maybe the amount shifts over time as big ticket items for me nowadays are new appliances, new roof, new car, new laptop. New car coming up some day, our car is 13 years old now. Yet every time I look at prices I run away lol.

And yes I also have a CAD 2500 TV that is likely outperformed now by a CAD 1000 model. Heck my 52" 1080p LCD TV was CAD 3,500 in 2007.

The trick is not to keep looking after you buy! Just accept it, drive a new car of the lot, it lost half its price in value already. Buy a TV, there will be a better/equal one for less within a month lol.

Anyway the pro isn't useless, it works quite well as a space heater! It's nice and warm in front of the TV haha.

I guess I'm less financially stable than you so my guilt is justified but there are things I don't regret like PSVR and PS4 PRO to use it or the new PS5 others such as The Quest 2 are painful to think about.

You're a better man than me if you can make yourself feel good about spending on tech that turns out to be useless or becomes useless. 

And alas, at least the heat is coming out of it and not pooling inside like in the ps4 making so loud running the fans you couldn't hear the TV sometimes.

@OP Aside from Dragons Dogma and FF7 Rebirth in side by side comparisons, I have yet to see noticable upgrades at a glance improvements. It's easier to say the RT but even that just looks like a contrast boost if you're not around a mirror or water.
