    Hi, just to close this off. The answer is that the only real difference appears to be that by backing the workspace with the Fabric capacity you get to use up to 48 refreshes whereas the 8 refresh limit applies with the standard workspace capacity.

Hi ReginaldPenguin ,

 

I am not a licensing expert but until you hit about F64 SKU, you have to have a Power BI pro license.  This is from the Power BI perspective.  The F2 may provide other items to your organization based on other Fabric needs and projects you may have, but from a strictly Power BI user perspective, since they have to still use a Pro license there is no real benefit of an F2 over a Pro license.

From a data perspective and other needs you may have the F2 model might be great for you.
