Your concerns are why I got the 6. Nobody will argue that a larger screen is less enjoyable than a smaller one. Why do you think desktop monitors are 24", 27", 30+"?

The problem is that a phone should be portable first. I believe the 6+ sacrifices practicality.
 
Same situation here, how am I gonna use it while running/working out....well see.

Introducing the 49.99 iPod Nano for about the price of a case:

Or also introducing the 349.99 Apple Watch if you want to get fancy:

My FlipBelt should be in today, so we'll see if it fits the 6 Plus okay. I've always run with my phone even though I use a Garmin Forerunner 910xt for tracking. It definitely doesn't fit in the Fitletic/iFitness belts that I already have.

There are armbands for them on Amazon as well, but I have pretty small arms, so I don't think that'll be an option. Fingers crossed that FlipBelt will work. I'll post later when it arrives.
 
If you think about it, some of those things that make the 6+ special will probably end up in the 5 someday. Do you really want to get used to a 5.5'' just to not get back to a big, but great sized phone?
 
You probably still have that 5s right? Fill it with music and get a arm band case for it. It's lighter, smaller, and you're probably not going to use it anyway so it would work great for listening to music while running.

Hmm..I was thinking about selling the 5S to offset some of the Plus cost (seriously, us Plus owners are less than a Benji away from an 11" MBA)...but considering all the money I know I'm gonna end up throwing on cases, arm bands, etc...maybe just keeping the 5S is the way to go.
