M3 Pro has marginally better CPU in return. M3 Pro's pros are dynamic caching and ray tracing. Former no one has a clue. Latter is completely useless unless you do 3D art for a living (in which case you should go to the Max series in the first place).
In that aspect, M2 Pro and M3 Pro aren't worth the price difference. OS updates are going to have similar lifespans too as both were released in 2023.
M3 Pro has 18 GB ram instead of M2 pro 16 GB ram, and M3 Pro is more battery efficient. Whether that is worth an extra is up to you. M2 Pro is already very battery efficient relative to M1 Pro due to difference in number of efficiency cores.
M3 was an upgrade on regular M3 and M3 Max. The pro is more or less the same as previous pro.
M3 Pro - better battery efficiency
Reality - no difference for the average user

And yes agreed. M3 Pro is still $200-300 more expensive.
Case in point my local Best Buy where I live, which is 40 miles away from Micro Center. They said no but the Best Buy near Micro Center did allow it.
