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! ;)
