The reviews I've seen have all based part of the rating on the controllers and/or how the headset looks on the outside. They should be focusing on how it looks through the lenses. The comparisons to VP1 or Index with respect to visual fidelity have been lacking detail as well.
I'd like to know more about the HTC software also. What exactly is it doing? HTC's software was not required to run the Vive or Vive Pro1. Is it truly required for Vive Pro2? What happens if you don't install the HTC software - can't you change resolutions (sub-sample) and tweak motion smoothing with SteamVR?
