Although Vibra, Ticon and Son Kite was just the top of the mountain
really, like the Tiėsto and Buuren of the genre.
There are quite a few deeper projects out there wich is more of
"the real deal" in the progpsy genre than Vibra, Ticon or Son Kite.

It isn't so hard to understand really, there are many forms of psychedelic trance if you want to be specific. You have for example a "techier" side of psy wich means there is sort of a techno feeling to the sound, mentionable names are X-Dream, PPS Project or even The Delta at some degree.
The most mainstream part of psy today, the fullon is also a category within the genre. Astrix is a good example aswell as the stuff J00F spins sometimes. Fullon is usually where the melodic trance meets generic psychedelic trance because you often have many strong melodic elements in the tracks compared to the other subgenres. Check out the later Bamboo Forest stuff, that's very good fullon imo. If you want to get ultracheese fullon you should check out Skazi for example 
You have the acid styled psy wich i think is the best representation of "pure" psy. But that is just a personal oppinion. Hux Flux, Dark Nebula, 1200 Micrograms, Osom, amongs others.
It's quite the same with progpsy actually, you have a scaled down but strong "deep" sound, with beats that just goes on without any big drops. Same as with progressive trance, the difference is that the soundpicture has more influences from the other psy genres, monotone bassline, the way tracks are structured, more psychedelic soundscapes ect.
