The Pro version I was used to was pretty much like the Classic but there 
was a zoom and pan navigation with the mouse which was a lot more usable 
than the keyboard based navigation of Classic.  But for me that made a 
huge difference in usability.  What ever else it had I didn't use it. I 
can't even remember if it had a preview feature.

But the latest Pro adds significantly more functionality *because of 
its split-screened preview*.

The preview makes two major things possible:
An ability to interactively apply different projection methods, and 
rotate and translate the axis for whatever projection method you are 
mapping with, while you see the changes to the "template" in real time.

An ability to save a "template", do some work on it with your image 
editor, then import and apply it as texture, and preview the result.

There is more that I have yet to explore, the polar mapping looks 
intriguing, for instance, but these two preview features alone put the 
Pro tool on another level from the Classic.

I'll post some screenshots in p.b.tutorials
