PinePhone vs PinePhone Pro: Which should I buy? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm wondering which is more free (as in freedom) so I can make the right choice. I've also heard people say the regular PinePhone is better than the Pro version. I am planning on using it as a daily driver. I understand it's not perfect yet, but I'm dedicated to make it work, I don't do much with my phone. I also just want to help support Linux-based phones and would like to see it become more popular in the future! I'm planning on dropping my Google Pixel w/ GrapheneOS for this.

honestly unless you are planning to develop for them and can improve the jankiness, neither. base pinephone is too weak for literally anything, even running that super minimal os. pro I only had for a few days before selling due to having no time for it but it was only powerful enough for me to think specs wise that's what the original should have been for the year it came out. I kept the basic one because I already did the open source modem firmware or whatever it was but its probably way out of date now.

If this is way out of date and things have improved much, someone tell me please.
