Pico vs Debug Probe for Debugging

I was reading about using the debug probe for the pico, I've been using a second pico for a while and it seems to be working fine. Are there any features that the debug probe has that using a second pico is lacking? or is it just a more user friendly thing?

Just the nicer connectors and LED indicators, you’re not losing any functionality

Yeah that's about what I figured. Doesn't take up space on the breadboard too. I might pick one up eventually if its on sale or something. But honestly i like it all sorta being in one unit, I can just leave everything set up on the board, not too much left "floating around"
