Anyone have a list of the differences between these models?

Lots of differences Dan.
The head, including the grips, swash and mixing levers, are metal on the Pro.
Plastic like on the Vibe on the CF model.
The servos are mounted in the typical Airskipper arrangement on both.
Completely different than the Vibe.
The tail is belt driven, with the pro version having a nice metal tail box.
The Pro has the Vibe style canopy, while the CF version has the typical Japanese Airskipper style canopy.
And of course, the CF and the Pro both have carbon fiber frames.

Hope this helps.

Pretty sure we will never see any of the Airskipper models here in the USA. They look nice...

thanks Chris!

Yeah, i know, but I was curious after having worked on a friend's Vibe 50 yesterday and then I was rummaging through JR's booth at the Tokyo Hobby Show and saw the Pro and started to wonder what the differences were, and also what could be carried over to the USA Vibe.
