Bear in mind all is just my opinion, that may help you with your decission wether to buy an Index or not
0) Setup was easy
FOV is a huge upgrade, just a slight black border right and left, I can finally enjoy VR like I wanted it from the beginning
I don´t have any artifacts on the displays, they look perfect to me (no lines or so)
Black levels are fantastic, in fact much better than on my CV1 (no black smear). I couldn´t see anything in Affected The Manor because it was so damn black everywhere
Headset has a huge sweet spot
120hz is nice and you notice it
Display is much sharper, you can finally read text without getting a headache and you will notice details you haven´t seen before
The sound is quite good, but I expected more
The Controllers will take time to get used to, you have to really open your hand and close to grab something
Base stations make an anoying loud sound, both of them. I have to unplug them while not in use.
Steam is still a mess. Hangs up, after a restart it doesn´t see the Index as a speaker and I have to unplug the power of the Index and plug it back in so Windows/Steam finds it again.
You can play lots of games via Revive, it´s pretty easy to use, but expect bad performance. (Could be that I was playing in 120hz with my 1080, will have to try again with 90hz.
God rays are back, at least at the edges you will see them alot, but game design gets around that
Tracking is awesome and much better than my CV1 setup with 3 sensors (and I freed 3 USB slots aswell)
Conclusion: I will keep my Index and sell the CV1, mainly because of the bigger FOV, the crisp display and the the controllers. But keep in mind this is not a product for beginners, the Oculus hardware + software is much easier to use and a Rift S or Quest may be the better product for you.

My email came last week, I just cannot take the leap because of godrays noticeable or not. I'd notice them. I will hold out for upcoming (reverb) headsets.
