As ‘tweeners’ go... (that’s a strange word!) the 12.9” is more in that thinking than the 11” for me. Once you get into that larger size and weight, and then add a folio keyboard, you are in MacBook territory. And for work, l’d much rather be using Mac OS. The one exception may be in HDR editing, and for touch input, with that mini-LED XDR screen. The 11” is my ‘personal’ device; easy to carry without a second thought, easier to hold in one hand, large enough screen area close in my lap, emails/web/media are all covered without the bulk, and I can use it now and then with my external Magic Keyboard for work. Ease of use it's the 11”, and for ‘more’ it's a MBP for me. But I do understand the appeal of a ‘bigger is better’ 12.9”, depending on how your devices fit in your ‘tweening.’ ;-)
