I personally bought the sportsman II and love it. There really isnt any difference between the sportsman II and the pro series II. Only difference is that the Pro series II has the phone app, which allows for a little more settings than the sportsman II. The speed of the 2 poles is the same. I have a family member with 2 of the pro series II and I compared my sportsman II to his pro series II and only found the difference in the phone app and mounting bracket. It comes down to is it worth it to you to spend and extra $300 to get the phone app or save a little and not get it. The sportsman II is all wireless, it will come with a dash mount switch and a wireless key fob to operate. Also the sportsman II is anodized finished and offered in one color and the Pro series II is powder coated and is offered in black and white.
