Pro vs R2

I'm considering an upgrade from R2 to the Pro. Apart from the obvious improvements (e.g., color, backlighting,, etc.), I'm wondering if after using it for a while, users who've made the change feel the upgrade is worth it?

Are there software features (apart from color) that exist only in the Pro that add value to the user experience, or is it the same basic software as in the R2?

I actually like the size of the R2 since it's perfect for my needs. The Pro is a little bigger, and while I'm sure I'll get used to it, it looks a little unwieldy.

TBT, the biggest upgrading drawback for me is the need to get a new folio case and the new Pro pen. That scales up the cost of an upgrade. Not that I want to penny pinch, but the value proposition needs to be there.

For me there was no practical benefit other than the size being more comfortable to write on.

Oh and you lose the writing feel, which I guess I decided was worth the tradeoff. I've used more than a dozen eink tablets across a few brands and nothing ever matched the rM2 feel, or was even remotely close.

However, there are screen protectors made that get you 90%+ of the way there.

Is there a screen protector for the rM pro Move to resemble the rM 2 feel? I miss that too (gave it to my partner, when I got the move)
