Considering I was in the same position and recently switched to an 11 Pro, I now find the extra screen real estate to be nicer than the negatives of the notch.

Considering I was in the same position and recently switched to an 11 Pro, I now find the extra screen real estate to be nicer than the negatives of the notch. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the notch is a nice solution, but as it is either 1. part of the menu bar or 2. hidden in the black bars when watching 16:9 videos, it's not so bad.
