Hey guys,
I have a few questions about the O+ vs. the Index. I'm currently using the O+, and I don't have any other HMDs to compare it with, so I'd like to ask you for some input. I've already read [this] and [that], but I'd rather hear about the impressions of users with more focus on Elite Dangerous specifically. It would be great if there were some people who own both HMDs and could talk about the differences.
Basically, given my preferences, I'd like to know whether going from the O+ to the Index is a viable upgrade path.
What I'm not overly interested in and things the O+ is already doing well enough for me:
Also: Why no HP Reverb? I'm afraid of all the issues that have been reported (panel failure, cable coming off, and other things) plus I'm fixated on Radeons for GPUs right now, and until Navi 21/23 come out, I won't have the GPU power to drive the Reverb.
Thank you very much for any input you may be able to provide!

What I'm not overly interested in and things the O+ is already doing well enough for me:
- Any other games aside from Elite Dangerous
- Roomscale VR
- Tracking; O+ is WMR, but I can deal with that.
- FOV; O+ is not "good", but good enough for me.
- Sweet spot; Same as with FOV.
- >90Hz; Don't need it.
- More sharpness/detail, meaning text readability, texture detail of planets a bit farther away, etc. Not just a bigger sweetspot, but more detail per angle.
- Removable earphones; I really, really, really want to start using my Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro instead; I absolutely need to be well-isolated from outside noise!
- Black levels; I'm afraid of going for an expensive headset only to be disappointed by those.
- SDE; I can't compare with any other HMDs as said, but it appears to me that the O+'s panel coating is doing a really good job removing the SDE.
- IPD adjustment; I'm at ~62mm. Index has hardware adjustment like O+, so that's a non-issue.
