Mikey,
The drop down is the most visual and obvious difference. Although the Pro also comes with the parts necessary to fit the wheel in the non drop position - and, just like the DX3R, you can build it to be either Left Handed or Right Handed.
Some nice touches - 2 size grips included, firmware upgradeable via SD cardslot, 50 model memory, backlit screen.
Vibration timer and alert - you can program a target lap time and it will count down and vibrate every time it reaches 0

Some neat mixing capabilities and ABS / TC built in (if you want to activate it)

Telemetry capable

Servo speed can be turned down if need be.

Plus all the normal DX3R functions

I was concerned that I might not feel comfortable with the drop down after using my DX3R for 3 years - but I couldn't have been more wrong.

They've also change the actual steerwheel slightly and improved the spring resistance. The result is that the new one is much more tactile with nicely weighted spring tension.

The Pro has some very nice touches and features - if you use any of them then it makes compelling sense - but if not, then there is still nothing wrong with the DX3R.

HTH
