I just bought a M5 Macbook Pro 2 weeks ago. Thinking of returning it and getting a M5 Pro with the same configuration but only $200 more. How should I compare M5 vs M5 Pro?

You'll get slightly more performance and ever so slightly less battery life. I'd do it

      You might also get more monitor support:

      M5 Supports up to two external displays over any combination of Thunderbolt and HDMI ports:

      Two displays up to a native resolution of 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz or

      One display up to a native resolution of 8K at 60Hz or 5K at 120Hz or 4K at 240Hz

      M5 Pro Supports up to three external displays over any combination of Thunderbolt and HDMI ports:

      Three displays up to a native resolution of 6K at 60Hz or 4K at 144Hz or

      One display up to a native resolution of 8K at 60Hz or 5K at 120Hz or 4K at 240Hz plus a second display up to a native resolution of 5K at 120Hz or 4K at 200Hz
