Hi, trying to decide between the 15 Pro and Plus. I read that although both have a USB-C port, the one on the 15 Pro is much faster. Besides faster file transfer and backup, are there other advantages to have a faster USB-C port? In terms of connecting to an external display at 4K@60Hz, any advantage in having a faster USB-C port?

No benefit with external display.

The faster transfer is only useful if.... you use it ;)

There may be other examples, but one is "Record ProRes files to an external storage device" in this article.
