I picked the Air after looking at them side by side. I couldn’t tell too much difference in screen quality and the extra inch is very noticeable and usable.
Most of my work is email, PowerPoint, Teams meetings, web apps, and spreadsheets. For me, extra screen real estate is more important than darker blacks.
I also liked the feel of the keyboard (a bit shorter, easier stroke to my feel) when typing. And I travel a good deal for work and it is thinner.
If you need more power for your work stream, I can see the Pro making sense. I thought about it.
But the Air was a better fit for me. I ordered last week.
I agree. Most folks probably won’t notice a speed difference at all between them, especially those coming to Reddit and asking. For normal everyday tasks and office workflows there isn’t any real difference. Portability is so much better on the Air. It makes a difference. I don’t buy the longevity argument either.

I just returned my MacBook Pro M3 because I couldn’t stand the typing experience compared to my MBA M2 13”.
Also, I’m so use to the form factor of the air that I’m willing to work around the screen and lack of ports.

It’s so confusing. I’m just going to use it for web searches, checking email, maybe playing games, nothing high tech. What do you recommend??
