What about the HTC Vive & similar?

  I have the original HTC Vive, It's been great! Hardware wise it's right around the quest 2, maybe slightly better. After a few years of heavy use the controller trackpads started breaking down and I thought I would have to buy new ones. But if you search online you find it's a common problem and possible to fix. Taking the controllers apart feels exactly like dissembling laptops if you've ever done that. Even the screws are similar. Anyway I have to do that like once every 6 months now but other than that it's still good. I'm about due for an upgrade and debating getting an Index now or waiting to see if headset comes out around the 1-3k Price point this year. There are other HTC headsets. The Vive Pro and the Vive Cosmos both came out after the original Vive but it sounds like the Pro isn't quite as good as the Index and the Cosmos is just outright bad. It would be great to see HTC to release something to beat the Index. There is also the HP Reverb G2 at $500. I don't know as much about this one but I've heard the video quality is similar to the Index but with worse tracking.
