So I post a lot with stupid questions and I feel awful, but I couldn't find a thread.

I have the original Vive so I definitely want an upgrade. but there is so many options.

I was hoping to see a large thread comparing the different ones Quest, Pro, Cosmos, index.

Money isn't a HUGE issue. I am just looking for opinions on reliability, user friendliness, features. I wanted to avoid pages like these because I never trust a big page as much as I trust form users like you guys.

Sorry if this is in the wrong form, and apologize if this is the 7th time you seen this kind of post, I couldn't find another one!

i tried a cosmos, and i didn't like it, I bought it 35% off, but I still returned it. I don't think it's worth more than a used vive.

The headset didn't fit me at all, the rubber thing at the nose left a huge gap under my eyes.
I had to tighten the headband pretty strong, otherwise it would slide around on my head.
It has a fan on the front which is pretty loud, and the headset still gets hot.
The controllers are large and heavy.
You need a PERFECT room for the tracking, specifically arranged for the cosmos. I guess it's gotta be large, with even bright lighting and lots of large textured areas.
Setting up a play area took me 15 minutes of spinning around in my office room with plenty of lighting and lots of straight high contrast edges and corners.
The cameras limit your movement a lot. I had to keep my arms uncomfortably far away from my body, which the heavy controllers don't help. I had to stare at the controllers for seconds every time I let them down near my side. The headset lost tracking every time I looked at my feet...
