I have an Index. As long as you have a solid PC, the experience is great—it single-handedly convinced me VR was more than a gimmick. Great quality picture + audio, reasonably ergonomic and I love the controls. Overall, I've been super happy with it.

Downsides to consider:

• You need a solid gaming PC (with a 2070 or better).

• Expensive ($1000 for the kit)

• Connected to the computer by a wire, awkward for "room-scale" VR

• Base stations provide great tracking but require setup (mounting high up in your room) and mean that the setup isn't very portable.

• Limited/janky access to exclusive titles. (You can hack around to get Oculus-only titles to work, but it seems rough and I haven't tried it myself.)

If you're not budget-constrained, I believe the Index will give you the best overall experience.
