Whats the diff?

Between the Encore and Endeavor, a lot. Between the Encore Pro Hunter and Endeavor, only the breech plug.

In my honest opinion, the Encore Pro Hunter is the best value of the Encore line. The extra accessories the Pro Hunter has over the original Encore (Flex Tech stock, Power Rod, EZ-Tip Extractor, Swing Hammer, 28" fluted barrel) are worth way more than the price difference. Around here, similar Pro Hunter's are $70 to $100 more than the original Encore. The 28" barrel (2" longer than the Encore, so it is more accurate) alone is worth the difference. The only difference between the Pro Hunter and Endeavor is the Speed Breech XT. Every Endeavor I've seen is at least $100 more than a similar Pro Hunter. And if you go with a centerfire barrel later on, there is no difference.

I'm sure the Speed Breech XT is nice, but it's not worth $100. If you want something from the Encore line, I highly recommend the Pro Hunter.

I bet in the future, you can retro fit the PH with the Speed breech...

You mean the Speed Breech XT (the one that doesn't need any tools, found on the Triumph and Endeavor)?

With the current setup, you would need a new barrel and maybe a new forend. The SBXT doesn't fit "in" the barrel like a typical breech plug, the back end is exposed. They might make something to upgrade the Pro Hunter, but it wouldn't be worth the money IMO.
