I was originally planning on getting h440 for my new system, but these phanteks cases look so good with tempting price. I'm mainly looking and luxe and pro. Is luxe worth the extra $40 over the pro? Or is phanteks pro the best bang for the buck

Bang for buck is where the Pro cleans up.  The Luxe is nice, and worth the $40 if the extras are worth it to you.  Will you be water cooling?  The extra space at the top of the case for fans is probably the biggest benefit of the Luxe over the Pro.  The external lights, and extra SSD mount are the other notable extras that come to mind, but only you can determine if its worth it for you.  They are both amazing cases and you can't go wrong with either.

Pro. Better airflow and personally better looking.

The Pro is the best value, but the Luxe really brings it home. I have one and it's great. The LEDs are nice and bright, there's WAY more than enough room for everything, even if you're doing something ridiculous like quad SLI/Crossfire. It was easy to build in for my first time, has plenty of spots for fans and watercooling, and has good airflow. It comes pre-installed with 2 140mm fans (one top, one back) and 1 200mm fan for the front, and the top can fit a triple radiator. It also has a neat plastic toolbox with all of the screws pre-organized and has ATX standoffs already mounted. You can't go wrong with either but I prefer the aluminum/steel Luxe.

I know I'll be getting the Luxe at the end of the month for my build, seems worth the extra bit of cash IMO.
