So from my point of view the new passport has 2% fewer pages and is supposed to last twice as long. While I never needed to worry about running out of pages with the old passport, it will be a major concern with the new one.
That is what most of us will miss, the 48pages passport. Even they only last me average 3-4 years it is still useful. I can see having to renew every 2 year will be a hassel.
