Also, which colour would you/did you go for?

I have my M2 MBA in Starlight, which I love.

Thinking of getting a 16 MBP, though. I'll keep one at my place, and the other at my nan's (where I spend half of my week.)

Would be interested in your responses/views.

Stay well.

I think the 16" MBP is a great computer, and definitely a step up from an MBA. I have the 14" MBP and I really wished I had the 16" but I made my decision and I have to live with it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have sort of a similar situation - MBP14 that I keep in one building on my property and a M2 MBA in the other.

I totally understand why people want to compare the devices. There is some overlap. But IMHO - the MBP is on another level. The machine is just better in almost every way except weight and battery life (although maybe that's different now).

If you aren't planning to use it on the go, I'd highly recommend the MBP in either size. The biggest advantage (again IMHO) is the far superior screen.

If you could, would you replace your MBA with a MBP, or do you like the design and would rather have one of each?

100% one of each. M2 MBA is the perfect "extra" machine. I like it as an iPad replacement. I enjoy its portability and battery life for airplane travel and to keep by the bed for that last minute check of email or a little web surfing.
 
If you had put the 13” MBP I’d have chosen that (though that display is quite outdated).
