I replaced my 2017 MBP with the M1 MBA. Only downside is the smaller screen, and fewer ports (I have a dock though). It's better in every other way. As others mentioned, the performance of the new MBA vs new Pro is similar. I think the MBA really highlights what's great about the first iteration of the m1. So, if you're ok with the smaller screen, I would go with the MBA. If you feel yourself leaning towards the pro, I would wait for the actual pro's coming later this year.
