Does anyone have the 2.8 GHz i7 MBP 2019? How has your experience been with that processor?
 
Wait for the upcoming MacBook Pro 14" with the new keyboard (if you can)...

The plan is to wait, but pick up the 2019 on discount. I am just looking at the the specs now to see what to order with price drops. Thanks.

Hard to recommend a Butteryfly keyboard machine if there is a good option, even if that option costs more. Wait until the 14" ships and then pick up a Apple refurbished unit 4-6 months later at $200+ discount. Same warranty as new, like new condition, eligible for AppleCare+

Is it true Apple gives a 4 year warranty on the 2019 butterfly keyboard?
 
Yes, there is an extended repair program for that keyboard - which is part of the reason I was willing to make the jump from a 2012 11 inch Air with a 2.0Ghz i7. I went for the 1.7Ghz i7/16GB/512 refurb, and I'm extremely happy with the performance I'm getting, especially when I'm using an eGPU.
