I compared the 14" Pro to the M2 Air and here's how it looks to me:

    MBP 14 base M1 Pro, 32G ram, 512hd = $2400.
    MBA upgraded M2,    24G ram, 512hd = $1900.

Note the Air is almost a pound lighter!

Air also lacks far more ports, MiniLED, 120Hz, the M1 Pro's GPU, 8GB of ram, and cooling. I would expect the M1 Pro's Ram to be faster as well. Finally the M1 Pro supports dual display out while the M2 does not. That $500 still goes pretty far.

It depends on your priorities. Thin and light is the win for me.
