The 46-10 combo (4.6 gear ratio overall) is a slightly higher gear than the 50-11 (4.55) so the SRAM will have both more bottom and more top. The bottom on my Roubaix is 34-34 (1.0) and I would personally like a 33-36 option (.9) for those 10+% grades.
To me anyway none of the other differences matter much. So overall I would take the Pro. YMMV of course 😄
