If you know groovy, you really don't need pro, but pro has advantages which eases testing activities especially for rookies.

Welcome to the Smartbear forums.
Both 1 & 2 of your requirements are fulfilled by both the free and paid editions of soapUI as mentioned in earlier comments. Difference is most of the stuff is readily available in Pro & you need programming to achieve the same in free edition at times.
ReadyAPI[Pro Edition] is friendly to the QA / Test Engineers, most of the tasks can be achieved easily without much programming skills and some of features available in Out-Of-The-Box.
SoapUI [Open Source] is also good. It is in very active development too, and many users there too.
Latest versions should be good for you.
- Ready API - 1.4.1
- Soap UI - 5.2.1
Regarding your question, there can be mixed suggestions based on user experiences. After all, it is upto the users who are going to use. What is easy for someone may not be the same level of easy for others and vice versa. So I believe, you are the better judge.
Good thing is that Smartbear allows you to try out Pro Software free, for 2 weeks I believe, to evaluate before you make a decission. Any way, you can use free version always.
One thing I can say, having programming skills always an added advantage for automation. In this case learning groovy will help better even if you go for Pro.
Hope this helps.
Happy testing.

I upvote SoapUI Pro/ SoapUI NG which gives a helping hand in case of comfort and stringent timelines!
