If I remember correctly, the Enttec open dongle generates the DMX data via "software" vs hardware for the Lynx and Enttec Pro. Due to interrupts and buffering, the open dongle sometimes drops data. The packet dropping only comes into play when using timeslices less than 25 ms ? I think.
The Lynx dongle is about 1/2 the price of the Enttec Pro. It is a one-way implementation, meaning it only sends out the DMX signal. Currently there is no provision to handle DMX signals returned from smart devices.
As you stated, you can use standard CAT5 cable instead of DMX cables. You can of course make cat-xlr adapters as needed.
If you plan on doing an real DJ work, then the Enttec Pro might be better for you. If you are going to dedicate this to your lights, then the Lynx works pretty well.
