The Pro has always been expensive, which means that if you're just buying a laptop because you want to faff about, then you'll get an Air---it is much lighter on your lap and your budget. Getting a Pro meant you wanted some kind of 'performance'---perhaps for games because of the separate video card, or a better CPU to run some taxing application. What I have heard is that if you're a person who lived and breathed Excel, or you're a developer, then you'll likely use the function keys. Personally? I've never used the function row keys for anything anything raising and lowering the volume of my machine.
