Any M1 Air owners keeping their new M1 Pro/Max MBP?

I've seen a few threads where current M1 Air owners have decided to return the 14" MBP they just got. I'd be curious to hear from any M1 Air owners that are keeping their 14" MBP—and why.

M1 air went back for trade in today. It “only” had 8GB of RAM, which with teams, office docs and browsers was pushing memory limits.

So I’m keeping the 14” base MBP for:
The sweet spot 16GB memory
The screen. It’s gorgeous.
Multiple external monitor support
MAGSAFE

…. And because trade in value for the MBA isn’t unreasonable after a years ownership.

Could you comment on the heat? One thing I love about the M1 Air is that it's almost always cool to the touch even during use with tasks like Slack/Teams/Docs... Does the MBP 14" get hotter?
