It really isn't. If you need to join a domain you need Pro. If you want (as a home user like me) to use Hyper-V or Bitlocker then you may be willing to pay the extra. I was and so I did. You may even just like seeing the word "Pro" and if that makes you happy there is nothing wrong with that.
One thing I really miss in Pro is data deduplication. If that was made a chargeable option I'd gladly pay for it - if I was in charge I'd put dedup in Pro, move Bitlocker to Home and increase the price differential...
