Just comparing my DK2 to stuff like GearVR (or Cardboard at the low end) it really does make a difference. Without the smoothest of framerates or positional tracking, it really limits the useful applications of VR. It's OK for watching a movie on a virtual giant screen or some more limited experiences but for a real sense of immersion, you really need some level of positional tracking.
When I got the DK2 I spent way more time grinning that I could stand up and look around behind my flight chair and around my cockpit in Elite Dangerous than I'd like to admit. Just having a 3d "surround" image to look around is cool but positional tracking makes you feel like you're really "there".
