Since Cuckulus didn't announce a new headset, I caved and bought an Index (again). I figured I would use it until the Quest 3 comes out next year and then sell it. I felt that my priorities had changes and thus I would prefer the Index over the Quest 2 now (gesturing not as important as it used to be). 

However, having used the Index today, and going back to the Quest, I honestly feel like I prefer Quest. 

Index
>+ Better vertical FOV, especially downwards
>+ No FBT calibration shenanigans
>+ No image compression
>- Very obvious screendoor effect
>- Not wireless
>- Index controllers were not designed for humans

Quest
>+ Literally less than half the price of the Index, and that's without the base stations
>+ No screendoor
>+ Wireless
>+ Is literally a standalone for use when traveling or away from home - great personal cinema
>- Cramped FOV
>- Colors duller and the image isn't quite as crisp (but the lack of screendoor balances this point out)

There's also other little things like, I prefer the Desktop experience on Virtual Desktop to whatever the fuck SteamVR does, and that I can put the Quest on and launch SteamVR through it.

I just can't stand the Index controllers. They only kinda work when your thumb is on the trackpad, which isn't used in VRC. Putting your thumbs on the sticks feels bad, and trying to click the sticks without moving them to the side requires a solid grip and readjustment.

I think the Quest is incredibly underrated and the Index remains quite overrated. Similar story to the Vive. A lot of parallels. There's a lot of misinformation out there. Quest 2 is at least on par with Index and is a fraction of the price. It's ridiculous. And Quest 3 is going to have eye and face tracking and will be a premium product, so I think there's a fair chance they'll either have proper wired PC support or will do their magic to improve the wireless image quality even further. They're so far ahead and yet all people do is 'muh facebook'.
