Wondering for the purpose of AOG is there an advantage to the pro?
Ardusimple list these as improvements over the simplertk2B V3

USB-C connectors
Timepulse and EXTINT are now also available on the JST connector
“NO RTK” LED in red color
“GPS FIX” LED in green color
Soldered Arduino Headers as an option
Link below. Thanks

Sounds like more of an updated design then a “Pro” model. I don’t think it makes a difference which one you use.

Looks interesting “RTX+INS-Sensorfusion”, but I found nothing documented what does that mean. The new board has Sparkfun Qwiic-Schnittstelle. Also the bno085 I thought, but nothing found regarding Sensorfusion?

I don’t see anything on the product page about an extra IMU and it’s the F9P module, so no IMU there either.

in smartphones, USB C is much more powerful than micro USB. for me it is a big plus.
