As an owner of both Quest 2 (two of them!) and Quest 3, I've had ample experience with each device. The Quest 3 offers notable improvements, particularly in MR capabilities, but for those primarily interested in VR, the Quest 2 remains a solid choice. I frequently use my Quest 2 for most VR activities due to its adequate performance and ease of use. While the Quest 3 does boast a higher resolution, the difference isn't overwhelmingly significant in everyday use.

When it comes to PCVR, the higher resolution of Quest 3 is a double-edged sword. Yes, it provides crisper visuals, but it also demands more from your PC, requiring a more powerful system to fully leverage the enhanced resolution.

On the other hand, the Quest 3 shines in its MR features. The color stereoscopic passthrough, despite being somewhat grainy, is impressive and shows a lot of promise for future applications. It's an exciting development that highlights the potential of MR technology.
