Most important: Don't ask people around you what they payed for their pit tickets - otherwise you might find out that you are surrounded by Lucky Dippers who payed far less than you did.
(in case you got LD tickets don't tell other people what you payed – they will be frustrated when the find out that they payed up to 30 times more than you did. Therefore there's no price on LD tickets anymore)

Guy in the pit leaned over to me and said that his wife better appreciate what he had spent on the tickets followed up by...
"Can you believe that some @#$%& only paid $85 to be in here?"
To which I replied,
"What would you say if I told you that I was one of those @#$%&?!"
True story.

Should be fine if you stay at the back. The stage is pretty high. Higher than most stages, bit it gets lower towards the end of the catwalk.Quote

Being able to see would be my main concern.
Would probably shoot for more towards the back of the pit for a little breathing room or the catwalk rail etc. as it gets a little pushy up front...

so true, but sometimes you find, when you can't get what you want, you have to settle for what you need
you mean like a chair on Keef's side of the stage ………

maybe the most important advice is: Although the pit experience is great, it surely not worthwhile paying $500+ for it

Spot on. I never have and never will. I refuse ever to pay more than 150GBP/170EUR/200USD to see the Stones (or anyone else) from any section. At London 1 2012, I set myself a maximum price of £100 and didn't buy until prices fell and that meant missing the 1st 4 songs. I was ready to turn and go home.
