eh; better only if you have issues with the Planet X.
The Langster Pro is a decent bike, even considering the fact that it doesn't have sprint geometry. It's a no-nonsense, probably-reasonably-aero, fairly stiff, good-handling track bike - aimed at enduros or amateurs. Whether that's an improvement from your Planet X worth spending money on is murky.
