I upgraded for two main reasons and one little reason:
* Lightbridge
* Narrower field of view for the camera
* The ground sensors (although not a deciding factor)
The narrower FOV matters a LOT to me because my wife literally can't watch my footage without getting nausea, especially when rapid yaw control. (Some people are like that.) I'd like to be able to share my experiences, and she cant.
Lightbridge... I like to "feel" like I'm flying, and I want that satisfaction while I'm doing it... Not when I view the footage later. The 640 resolution of the PV2+ leaves something to be desired, and the connection can be spotty. I use a 7" Nexus 7, 2013 model which for me improves the experience temendously versus my phone.
The ground sensors are a "nice to have" but I don't think I'll ever fly indoors. Mostly I see them as reducing the chances of rough landings.
I will probably keep the PV2+ for a while, but may sell eventually.
Honestly, I don't see much they could improve from here without making the Inspire useless.
Remaining in my wish list:
* 360 degree camera (which would require retractable gear)
* Detachable / changeable camera
* Separate control for the pilot vs. camera operator.
* Camera zoom. (Inspire deserves this feature too!)
* A much more durable gimbal!
Things I will miss from the P2V+:
* Groundstation/Waypoints (Although I'm sure that's coming soon.)
