X-52 Pro has more lights and shiny bits. The MFD is different and some control placements are different but functionally it's the same as the X-52.
I looked at the Pro model but didn't see or feel the need to move from the X-52. Actually I liked it less due to some minor changes in hat/button placements. Overall I felt it didn't offer enough for me to switch.
Both use Saitek's excellent SST software to program the HOTAS. With three modes you should have no reason to use the keyboard anymore while flying.
My 2 kopecks, save the money and go with the original X-52.
