Key Details
What Makes It Stand Out
The Pro+ adds a precision long-hair trimmer for beard detailing and a fifth shaving element for slightly better coverage on the cheek and neck. For most buyers the standard Series 9 Pro is sufficient, but the Pro+ earns its premium for men who also groom beard edges as part of their routine.
If you are buying the top of the Braun line and keeping a shaver for five or more years, the Pro+ is the right investment.
Value
The incremental performance gain over the standard Series 9 Pro is real but modest. The long-hair trimmer is what separates it for buyers with beard maintenance needs.

Bottom Line
Buy the Braun Series 9 Pro+ 9517s if you want the absolute top of Braun's lineup and need a built-in precision trimmer for beard detailing.
