I got the regular Spacepilot, but was wondering if anyone here has had both?

Just the spacenavigator, and spacenavigator for laptops. The rest of all the buttons and stuff seem superfluous. I use a nostromo for all my hotkeys. What are the advantages of the rest of it?
Ah it has a mini lcd in it. lol I think that's a bit too logitechy for me.

Sorry, mine isn't the Pro model. When it's a matter of $64 shipped for the older SpacePilot vs. at least $150 (more like $250+) for the Pro, I don't mind stepping down to an older model.
Oh, and as far as that LCD being "Logitechy", 3Dconnexion IS a subsidiary of Logitech, as well as the current incarnation of Spacetec IMC.
I just wish I could get those RBC9 drivers to work, or that GlovePIE would read it more reliably. (EDIT: Turns out that using a different GlovePIE version has fixed it.) I got mine just because the older Spacetec SpaceOrb 360 is difficult to set up on post-Win9x-era systems, and Descent just doesn't feel right with anything else. (Nor would Independence War or anything else that allows for 6DoF movement.)
Back to the LCD-the non-Pro model can't be used like a G15/G13 LCD, unfortunately. It only shows what's mapped to the number keys directly below it and what's mapped to whatever button was just pressed, sensitivity level changes, dominant axis mode, and if there are any translation or rotation filters. Word is that the Pro's LCD works just like the G19's, however, app support and all. (Wouldn't surprise me since the D-Pad near it also makes it scream G19.)

Chimera, can you please be so kind as to give us a nutshell what's the diff between Space Nav and Laptop version?
