I own both the quest 2 and the quest 3, and wanted to give some insight into people who are on the fence.
The Quest 3, while being $499, is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over the Quest 2.
-The quest 3 has a huge resolution bump over the quest 2. Honestly the quest 2 is pretty blurry and feels like a budget headset. There's significant screen door effect (you can see the pixels and looks like you are staring through a screen door while the quest 3 eliminates this problem). Not only this but the new lenses makes the image sharp all the way through while the quest 2 feels blurry depending on where you look.
-The quest 3 is much more comfortable to wear because of better weight distribution. This is huge when you plan to play for more than 20-30 minutes because the two gives a lot of fatigue because of the weird weight distribution.
-The 3 uses a new set of lenses called pancake lenses which greatly increase the field of view from 95 degrees to 110 degrees. This makes it much more immersive and life like. In the quest 2, you can very easily see the edges of the image which is immersion breaking.
-The quest 3 has more accurate tracking and allows you to use mixed reality/augmented reality because of the pass through cameras in the front. The quest 2 does not allow this. This is very important when you want to be able to see your surroundings without having to take your headset off. It also makes the head set more future proof.
-I used the mixed reality on my quest 3 to learn piano. The piano notes came
Down like in guitar hero on my
Own piano in real time. It was an amazing feature that greatly expanded the capabilities past just gaming.
Honestly, unless you are an extreme casual, I would pass on the quest 2 even at this price. If you just plan to vary occasionally use it then go for it but otherwise, I would say that the quest 3 is definitely worth the money and this is coming from someone who loves to save money. To be honest, it's pretty surprising just how much Meta upgraded the headset over their previous iteration. It feels like a next gen product now and is by far the best value on the market. The Quest 2 never made me feel that way even when it was new.
I love the idea of VR, but in practice, it's just a neat toy that's cumbersome to use and gets boring quick. This is my opinion though, and I understand fully, that some folks live and die by VR, but these people are the exception, not the rule. I have five or six friends that also have VR headsets (mostly quest 2), and only one of them use it consistently.
I understand the quest 3 is fairly more advanced but doubt it would lead me to using it any extra, I if I paid double, I'd be very disappointed.

Pretty all of what I came on here to say in this post. Good summary!
VR/AR really appealed to my imagination, but the actual experience is not the expansive immersive one I expected, but instead I find it to be fidgety and uncomfortable. If I got headaches from it, forget about it. I'm constantly adjusting the headset for comfort and light leak, fumbling with the controllers to figure out which buttons my fingers are on and the low resolution of the MQ2 makes me feel like I'm back in college playing Carmageddon 2 on my Gateway 2000 PC. It somehow feels dated and narrow instead of cutting edge, expansive and endless. That's just my opinion 🤷🏻 ♂️
All the parts that touch your face are fully replaceable.

Several games already has mixed reality and is available in quest 2 already
Games needs to be recompiled to support higher resolution of quest 3... For most games as of now, graphics is same
Quest 3 is nice.. But at it's current price, it's a bit too much to pay for not much better functionality.

It's not in color but it works fine for most part
All I see are people pushing them for $200. I don't ever find deals. If I'm going to spend $200 I'll buy it new for the same price.

While that may be true, the Quest 2 doesn't allow for mixed reality which is the main point I wanted to make. It is hardly usable tbh. The mixed reality really sets the Quest 3 apart and it can compete with something like the Apple Vision Pro in that regard. As I mentioned previously, I learned how to play piano by using the Quest 3 which to me alone warrants the price difference. The Quest 2 is extremely limited in the scope of its usage to just games.
It will come down in price considering the sales numbers aren't as good as Meta had projected. I don't know what the Quest 4 will bring but I can see the Quest 3 being a great buy when the 4 eventually replaces it. I can't say the same for the Quest 2 as it feels very limited in its usage. Look at all the people in this thread saying they used it a few times then never touched it again; I truly believe that mixed reality is what has given the Quest 3 much longer life. I can use it to do so many tasks around the house and learn skills that I wouldn't be able to with the Quest 2.
