Thoughts on my Pro Max -> Pro transition:

I miss the real estate. I love the feel in hand.

"Worth it?" is the question. I think it's honestly close to neutral right now. I miss the one thing and like the other thing. If I go back, the same sentence will be true, with different meaning.

@lexfri the hand feel on the 17 Pro was immediately notable. I think it’s the way the frame wraps around the back a little more, moving the seam (and the inset panel has less seam to start with compared to the glass sandwich design).
