Try the regular blue when you get it since you can return regardless, I am pro max user for the 11, I enjoy it but sometimes feel it’s too big so I am also gonna try the regular 12 pro
I picked the pro over pro max for size last year, I am now yet again leaning toward the pro max too. I definitely prefer the lighter and smaller size of the regular pro
However the step back in battery life im not a fan of. I'm going to give it a go but the top quality battery of the 12 pro max might push me towards that. I wish Apple didn't differentiate the cameras this year
