- One model only, don't even bother releasing a Pro model afterwards. 

I think a Pro model is fine. It serves the purpose it needs to, especially for Sony, in allowing them to get ready for the next gen by testing some stuff out first. In this case, PS5 Pro is being used for PSSR so that it is in a better state for the PS6 rather than them having to wait 3-5 years before they can begin to utilise it.

What they need, imho, is a handheld variant. That offers consumers options. 

I understand the Pro is a helpful step to fine-tune towards the next gen but I feel that this could also be done and tested behind the scenes rather releasing it as a Pro model. Personally, I'm not against a Pro model and doesn't hurt consumers to have that option, but that would just add more cost to production mid-gen rather than just keeping the same model and use the resources to focus on the next gen.

I think the hardware market has gotten a bit much and feel that sometimes simplicity is best and should try to bring it back down to that level.

Handheld variant is a different topic and I also agree with this as a secondary option rather than a Pro option, 1 home console and 1 handheld both sharing the same library would be the best options to bring to the market.
