Hi Dotone.
Welcome to the site.

I know what you mean about accidents.
My nephew spilled tea onto my MacBook.
Luckily no damage.

I know what you mean about the MBP too.
But most of the damage it takes is superficial.
But the internals are very rugged.

In short, it's about mobility, the Pro is just softer than I expected compared to the MacBook, each comes with its own cons/pros so no comparison. But when it comes to use of the machines Mobile users like me who commute many hours a day, I guess they'd find it hard to get used to the Pro. Caveman, lol, still getting me laughs.

But then again this might be a very rare case, since I like many other people started my journey with IBM-T series, brutal and tough. So MacBook sounded soft to me in the beginning but then it proved how hard and reliable it was, Pro is hard but since it is heavy and wide, it is easier for it to get damaged, hence, when I say you need to take more care of it.
I like you. You took the comments as they were meant, constructively. Welcome to the site! Ive never spilt anyting on my Macs. I am VERY protective. Are the pros less "mobile inclined" than the Macbooks? yes. but the pros are still a hundret times better than say a Vaio (that my brother had to return one 1 week after purchase because of a SLIGHT spill of WATER!)

But I could also argue that a Macbook is no where near as rugged as an iBook. Especially the strong little 12 inch ones.

Depends what you need.
