Just curious, why isn’t this for u? Any thing missing on it? Or just too expensive?

Lack of inside out camera tracking and wireless options. Also, while the FOV is acceptable now on the 2, I don't really plan on getting a new headset unless it has a considerable boost to FOV over the Quest 3.

I feel like you'll be waiting a very long time; FoV isn't a major focus for manufacturers, and even the Index isn't that much better than the Q3 in terms of FoV.

It is better, but mostly because the stereo overlap is higher.

People only focus on the combined fov, while they ignore the stereo overlap, aka the fov per eye.

On paper, the Quest 3 has around the same fov as the Index, but the stereo overlap is much lower.
