I think the main advantages of the Pro over the Vue is the ability to split the anemometer from the other sensors, so that each can be placed more optimally. The wind sensor as high as you can get, the others not so much. And the Pro has the ability to add other sensors (extra temp stations, soil moisture, leaf wetness, and such). I use an extra temp station to help avoid frozen pipes in winter, for example.
I still have an original Vantage Pro, not the VP2. 15 years old and still going strong, though I did buy up a spare station and extra parts when they came out with the VP2 to try to keep it running as long as possible, but both stations are still fully functional, with the exception of the original anemometer that had the bearings going bad.
