I don't know if you are still looking at this thread as advice on what to buy but....
I bought a x52 standard about 4 months ago and I am really happy with it, I couldn't say anything about the durability other than it hasn't gone wrong yet... but i am always gentle with the stick. The stick does very rarely reset during use, it is only the stick itself that does this - it is connected by a s-video cable to the throttle which has the usb, unplging this lead and plugging it back in again works fine to recalibrate back during flight. The mouse wheel on the throttle is the main cause of the stick resetting itself, and I don't use it.
As far as I know, after researching after i bought it (something I recommend against) is that the Pro is made using different sensors for the analogue parts, they are apparently of higher quality, more precise and more reliable. Aside from that and that the MFD is programmable on the Pro there aren't many differences, but that said had I known the pro was more reliable I would probably got that instead for the extra
