mrb0ng's take

The Chronic XL is a pass-it-around piece with big personality. The Pro is built for one job, colder and smoother hits, and it comes apart so cleaning isn't a chore.

When to pick the HEMPER instead

Pick the Hemper Chronic XL if you want a loud, themed bong for parties and don't need frozen chill.

The big difference: frozen glycerin vs. water

Water cools smoke a little. A Freeze Pipe goes further: the sealed glycerin chamber goes in the freezer for about an hour, and the smoke travels through a frozen coil on its way to you. That's where the extra smoothness comes from.
