Same. I have a PS4 Pro, and a lot of experience with the base PS4 models of various friends and family members, but my friends only have base PS5s. Wait that's not true, one friend does have a PS5 Pro. He used to have a base PS5 (maybe still does), so maybe I'll ask him how the difference has been. But personally my own experience is limited. I've borrowed one friend's base PS5 a couple times, so I got no idea what the PS5 Pro is like.
 
Funny, I just saw yesterday that a base PS5 costs over $1000 new, which surprised me, as just a couple of months ago that was the price of the PRO but it never even crossed my mind that it's because of GTAVI. Shows how much I care.

Can you really though?
