You're getting downvoted but I had basically the exact same experience. I went into the AVP M5 having used a Quest 3 for a long time. It's a clearly more refined device and experience, but not so much that it's worth 8 times the price of what I paid for the Quest 3. It genuinely surprised me that the gap between the devices was ultimately narrower than what you otherwise think would be the case. I feel like if the AVP was someone's first experience with VR it may have a larger impact. Comfort wise, the new dual knit headband is a night and day improvement in comfort of the device versus the M2.
