What is your philosophy of upgrading to the 13 pro? (frame.work)

I got my 13 a few months ago and it kind of sucks if I waited I could have gotten the 13 pro instead. However I won't throw it all away or sell it to buy the pro even though I could. I'm planning on upgrading one part a year (or whenever they break), starting with the keyboard cover, to get to the pro. What are your plans?

I bought my FW13 a couple months ago.

It's been rock solid, yeah battery life could be better, but I don't want to drop $300-$500 USD on chassis parts, keyboard, and whatever else just to upgrade my battery.

Plus I want to see real world comparisons/reviews of the Ryzen 300 vs latest Intel. Like, would I get better battery life just buying the Intel board? Is there even a reasonable performance uplift to upgrade?

Personally I might just buy the new input cover to get the new haptic trackpad, but I see zero reason to upgrade anything else, unless something just breaks. But the laptop has been solid! Zero regrets.
