I bought the Pro and I tested the Regular and I see the Regular in the store once in a while. I know the Pro is almost twice as much but there's really no comparison. The Regular looks like a toy compared to the Pro. And my X52-Pro has been working strong ever since I bought it 5 or 6 months ago. The Pro uses better parts inside & out. Still a lot of plastic but much better texture and feel. And you need that extra spring to center the joystick.
I know it's a lot of money but I think you'll always be second guessing with the Regular, whereas with the Pro I think you'll be glad you splurged. Go for it-it's only money!
