I contemplated alot about whether to get the pro line, and decided on this model. I really wonder what could possibly be better on the pro version? This fence has absolutely everything you could want in a fence. I don't care whether you are a weekend woodworker, or someone who does it for a living, this fence is the best I have ever seen. The micro adjustment is great for the perfectionist or for the person who needs to tweek the setting just a bit after cutting that first board. I was reluctant to buy a fence that did not have a rear lock, but this fence is SOLID, and did I mention that on my 1970 craftsman I didn't have to drill, tap, bend a single thing. I read some reviews that knocked it down a star for the instructions and I have to say, anyone who has put anything together out of a box should not have a problem. I would give it an 8 out of 10 for its instructional material.
