The lume is very good on the Speedmaster Pro. I'm wearing a brand new Submariner lately, and I'm finding that the Sub's newly revised material is a bit quicker to pick up a sufficient charge, and it glows a bit more evenly and longer than the Speedmaster does, but the Speedmaster's legibility in the dark ranks near the top of the class.

As for the pins in the reference 1958 bracelet: you don't need special tools to remove/reinstall the pins. Once the screw cap on one side of the link is removed, the pin will simply drop right out (you may have to tap on the links to dislodge the pin). Reinstalling is just as easy: with one screw cap off, the pin simply drops right into the hole, and the screw cap goes over it to complete the job.

If you suspect you're going to enjoy the Speedmaster Pro, then you're probably right. It's a lot of fun to own and wear.
