Definitely worth picking up a Pro over the regular PS4. There is an additional boost mode which helps with framerate for quite a lot of games. Also the '4K' games can be downscaled. I think most typically run at 1440p or below, but display at 4K resolution. Some trickery with checkerboard rendering as well.

Edit: If you have any interest in PSVR, the Pro is a must.

PS4 Pro also has SATA 3. Definitely recommend putting an SSD in it. Transformed mine.
Loading times on that garbage 1tb mechanical drive it came with were a joke.

60fps on console? What is that :D

Some games have performance modes, others resolution modes. Those without both may benefit from boost mode - I think Knack is supposed to be best example. However, some games are locked at 30fps and there is no way around it.

If you going to buy a console, pay the extra and get an PS5 as its over 2 years old now and it can play most PS4 games.

Pro is good if you can get it for a good price.

Otherwise get a PS5, as it can play all (most) of the PS4 game library.
 
In the last few weeks we have seen several games or DLC which are not coming out on PS4 and that is only going to grow - so at this point I would say its PS5 or nothing.
 
Pro simply looks badass. It is a great console (especially once that slow hard drive is switched for an SSD) but get the PS5 if you can.
