Here's something to think about:
Currently the tech landscape is changing, and the current pre/pros don't have the latest tech. If you are looking for something new now, you'll be lapped in about 2-3 months when the new gear comes out. For example, if you're looking to move to 4k (needing HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2) in the next 5 years, or want the latest codecs, neither pre/pro has them.
I'm in a similar situation, and I decided to get a really cheap pre/pro now, and move up to Anthem's new flagship which should come out in January.
