[...] My biggest complaint, which is not rectified in the new machine is that IMO, the touch pad is too large and when part of my palm rests on it, it moves the cursor. This drives me nuts. it also proves to me that Apple is not doing the kind of user testing that they used to do.
With due respect, the fact that the larger trackpad doesn’t work for you does not necessarily mean that Apple is not testing adequately. I don’t have the problem you describe, so our test results would cancel each other out. Maybe the number of people having your problem is small, and the number of people who absolutely LOVE the extra trackpad real estate (like me) is large.
There’s also the consideration that with what is considered “correct” typing posture your hands should not be resting on the computer at all. The only points of contact should be your fingertips. I would prefer Apple NOT adjust its designs to accommodate “incorrect” usage at the expense of those whose with good technique.
I'll take my Mojave (capable) 2019 MacBook Pro 15", and then repurpose it when the time comes for a job, and be happy I have all the tools needed for either 32-bit app or 64-bit apps... (but who knows really, maybe the 2019 16" can run Mojave???)
and then I'll kick back and wait till 2020-2021-2022, for my 12" ArmBook with (obviously) a nice fast 64-bit ARM processor and 5G built in, hopefully with a smooth macOS 10.16 or macOS 10.17!
