Paypal Pro API Issues (Payflow Edition)

I look at PayPal APIs (god there are so many!)

My question is this: It seems that there are two releases for the proxy server for websites (direct and payflow edition). See the link below for two guides: https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/development-integration-guides#wpp

After talking with paypal, it seems they recently switched and create new pro accounts in the payflow release, while old accounts are still a direct payment issue. There is a new authentication scheme for the new payment edition API.

1) Does anyone know if these two APIs are completely different? They are both called proxies, but I have no idea about the APIs themselves.

2) Do they allow transparent forwarding if they are different.

3) For express verification, different API calls, if I use api express verification directly, vs with pro (direct or payment flow releases).

Thanks for easing my confusion. :)

1) Payments The Pro-PayFlow version is the same as in the Payments Pro standard with one additional feature: recurring billing.

2) Paypal standard does not, pro does.

3) Express verification only works with PayPal accounts and the easiest way to implement it. However, it does stipulate that buyers have a PayPal account.

Paypal Standard redirects users from your site to paypal. Users do not need to have a PayPal account to purchase goods. Users can choose to pay by logging into their PayPal account or credit / debit card.
