I highly recommend reading the RT-AX88U Pro review by DongKnows as it does compare it pretty well to the standard version. It has more of some ports, less of others.

Pro includes VLAN and a faster CPU but there are a few other small things as well (AI Mesh 2)

Dongknows review has performance data from 10ft as well as 40ft away from router. Check if that works for you or not.

The GT-AX6000 is $20 cheaper on Amazon right now and from dongknows, they are essentially the same except for aesthetics.

I have been researching routers to upgrade mine, and this Pro model is THE one to get if you have just one of these needs:

Large home, over 2,000 sq ft
Gaming over Wifi
More than 30 devices connected
Want to use VPN

I have all 4 of these needs, thus the need for all the horsepower of the Pro. I have over 80 devices on my network and 5,000 sq ft home.

My only minor complaint is the loss of 3 LAN ports on the Pro model. I have seen these sell for 180-200 used and 249 new. Holding out for a sale somewhere in the middle, maybe an open box
