To me the Pro is more clean, detailed and transparent while at the same time sounding more fluid, refined and musical. In short it's more class A and analog sounding, less digital.
If it sounds too 'soft' or recessed on certain systems then these systems might need some re-tuning. I hope at least the owners themselves know their own system well enough to know if it errs/erred more to the analytical or soft side of the 'neutral' balance.
(Edit; the above is not an exhaustive list; to me more aspects of sound reproduction improved like dynamics and soundstaging. I felt these above are the most relevant in this thread)
