I stayed with the 6S because of the headphone port and Touch ID. It also was a testbed for the water-resistance for the 7, so it more-or-less is IP67 except for the headphone jack.
The SE seems a compelling upgrade because it doesn't have a notch, unlocks without requiring lighting and a camera, isn't a massive brick, and doesn't cost several fortunes.
I had tried a Dell 12.1" M1210, Macbook and Macbook Pro all before. To me the bigger the screen/resolution the better and Macbook Pro is certainly one of the lightest 15.4" so I would recommend that. Personally I could not tell the weight difference between carrying a 13" Macbook and 15" Macbook pro.
However, 13.3" and 1280x800 is my minimum requirement that mobility could not justify any smaller spec.

not sure if you have heard of it or already applied previously.
Happy to help on the referral if needed. Thanks
