The main difference in P99 is that you have to race and FTE immediately which requires more coordination and planning because you don't have time to clear first. That makes the encounters far more challenging.

Infinite accounts are also a major difference. If you don't/won't play a holy trinity class, then yes you will have to deal with a very specific role in Velious and you may find that boring.
