Is there no benchmark thread for the enhanced edition since has its own tool and profiles?

4A Games update Metro Exodus, new engine, Ray Tracing GPU now required

What CPU do you have? I get lower GPU usage when outside looking onto the wide open landscape like in your screenshot which obviously lowers the FPS, it's probably a CPU or driver overhead limitation. I have an AMD Ryzen 3900X and RTX 3080.Pretty sure amd improved their tessellation perf. after that and the crysis 2 fiasco.
I wouldn't say there is "no visual improvement".....

Unless are you referring to just tessellation part? Got a link to that if so. Remember that was the case for witcher 3 but didn't think they had the same over the top tessellation set for this too.
Some more quick screenshots, FPS dropped a bit when going back to the train, probably the lowest drop I have seen so far, usually, it is sitting nicely above 100 fps all times.
I have to say the game looks truly stunning at times.

If you have in-game Vsync on turn it off, it breaks Gsync on my Dell S2716DG, locks FPS to 60 and introduces a lot of ghosting and sluggishness to the mouse movement. I had to force Vsync through the Nvidia control panel instead which works great. There are some stutters sometimes, although mostly small, but I think it's just the game loading assets in.
Looks great but cant believe it has all these bugs being a 2 year old game and being updated for super duper PCs. Seems to be overly blurry started to hurt my eyes (TAA?), Nvidia sharpen filter to 60% helps I can actually see the textures instead of a smear now 
Playing it on EXTREME 1440 and everything maxed but VSR/Motion blur/DLSS off and netting 60-100fps.

Nice to know that sorts the vsync as I noticed it would run at 60Hz 3840x2160 on my OLED yet 120Hz would work fine at 1440p
All the screenshots for this new edition are basically a lie. The accumulation pass takes multiple seconds to finish, f.ex. any time you do outdoor-indoor transitions. What a joke.

Going from ultra bright outdoor area to a darker indoor area, I imagine that's the game replicating your eyes adjusting?

That looks bad, has to be a bug surely.

Anyone remember the good old days of Hairworks and pointless excessive tessellation for no visual quality improvement? Looks like this game has a little bit of that according to this and this.
It's not all bad though, seems like RT is well optimised.

No, we have that effect (eye adaptation/adaptive exposure) in many games and it's closer to a second, not multiple. Check it out here for Far Cry 5 at the beginning of the video when he leaves the bunker: https://youtu.be/XuoZqb6BDc4
Nope, Nvidiamd is right. It's simply the technique they chose. The hardware isn't strong enough to get those results "instantly" so it's distributed over time. Happens with many effects in modern games but these new RT endeavours are taking it to an extreme. Sadly.

They talk more about it here: https://www.4a-games.com.mt/4a-dna/in-depth-technical-dive-into-metro-exodus-pc-enhanced-edition
Ah interesting to know that it is a "limitation" of the tech as I also thought it was an "artistic" touch:
Particularly because of that area used in the above clip, you're going from a bright open desert to indoors and that is pretty much how your eyes do work in real life when there is a sudden change in the lighting i.e. your eyes have to adjust.
Can't say I noticed it in any of the above areas from my screenshots tbh, perhaps because the lighting isn't as intense as it will be when in the desert?
5600x @ stock
More than likely driver overhead.
Indeed, it is stunning! I didn't enjoy the game as much first time round but loving it this time as ray tracing has added so much more of an atmosphere to it.

Fair, their example is much more of of an "issue".
With the one you linked, if it wasn't pointed out, I wouldn't have thought of this as an "issue" given how the humans eyes work to adjust to darkness and so on.

Either way, it's a small price to pay for a superior method and will be resolved as the hardware and tech. gets better.

Where seems to be the best place to pick this up, I assume Steam/Epic store are not the best?

Right now the base game is roughly €12 when you buying the Humble Bundle Choice for May, and you get another 11 games included. Think that's the best price at the moment.Where seems to be the best place to pick this up, I assume Steam/Epic store are not the best?

It's not a bug it's also in the original version.
