I have bought a couple spares. Hopefully, if all the panic over them takes over, I'll have some grandfathered or at least with okay firmware.
Where the Pro wins is if you are going to print more advanced materials and remotely.
I'm addition to the enclosure the pro has the camera and air filtration. Those are with something.
However for someone just starting I think I would go 5M or AD5X then upgrade if you decide you need the ability to do engineering filaments. You might also decide you need a bigger bed at the same time.

The DIY enclosure kit is $34-$40 and then about 1.5 rolls of PETG to print the required parts, so another $30. And if you choose to build or buy a bentobox charcoal air filter to put your printer truly on par with the Pro, that will set you back probably another $20-$30ish bucks.
To be honest, when all was said and done, I kind of wished I had just bought the Pro. The DIY process was fun, but also time consuming and not cost saving at all in the end.

Oh, one other advantage to the Pro (at least then) was it came with some additional nozzles.
