I have not tried that one.  PragmataPro does not appeal aesthetically.
However, I have found it greatly enhances readability.  Normally I
keep taking my glasses off to get a closer look.  I don't have to do
that with PragmataPro. It has one tiny problem left in Italic where
the a and o look too much alike which the author said he will fix.  He
has worked hard to make each letter quite distinct.

Would you be willing to create an Envy code R font and Inconsolata
sample with http://mindprod.com/applet/fontshower.html
to show at http://mindprod.com/jgloss/programmerfont.html? 

The author, did Pragmata some years ago and was interested in
feedback.  I was happy to see he incorporated many of my suggestions
and suggestions from other programmers for PragmataPro.

For programmer fonts, I think you pretty well have to try them for a
week.  It is not like selecting a display font.

I was using the IntelliJ default Segoe, but it was a bit too whispy.
ProgrammataPro is heavier than usual.
