Pro will connect you to 5 ultrapeers, rather than basic's 3...so there's the potential for better search results.

In older versions of LW, there used to be a setting where you could change your speed (either cable/dsl, T1 or T3) & that used to effect the max number of hosts you could connect to per download (max used to be 14 hosts for a T3 connection). But now there's only the choice between 'broadband' & 'dial up' so I can't tell you whether LW can magically work out your speed

I have a ~1700 kbps download speed & the max hosts I've been able to connect to with 4.16.3 Pro is 10. That's 2 hosts more than you'll connect to with basic (not a huge difference IMO).
Sorry if that doesn't help you too much, but we can only give us much info as we've learned thru using LW.
Like you said, the website doesn't tell you much & it's not like the developers let us know of any changes to LW

My best advice would be to stick to basic (free) LW!
