Could you share your experiences switching from Paypal Standard to Pro?

Hey, we have been using Paypal Standard for a while.  Want the improved look of Paypal Pro.  Have existing recurring donors with Paypal Standard.

Has anyone made this switch using the same Paypal account and/or payment processor in Civi?  I'm concerned about upgrading an account because it might break something with the existing recurring contribs.

Rather, I'm thinking it might be a better idea that we'll just create a new account that is Pro, setup a new payment processor in Civi, and use that in for the future.

Anyone had a similar experience or guidance to share?

Yeah here's the answer, as given by Lobo on IRC and confirmed by me.

Upgrading from Standard to Pro costs $/month and adds extra features to your account.  Your account now can either transact as Standard OR as Pro.  You can setup 2 different payment processors in CiviCRM (one Standard one Pro) using the same account. Existing Standard recurrings are not affected.
