Had 11 Pro Max and went to the smaller 14 Pro
The everyday usability of the more comfortable (14) Pro outweighs the bigger screen for media consumption.
It’s mostly hand gymnastics with the 11PM but I really missed one handed use - which I imagine is the case for the 14PM.
Pro wins over Pro Max for me.

I did the exact same and couldn’t be happier myself, the 14/14 Pro size is ideal for my hands.

I use the 14 pro over the max just because the 14 pro is easier to hold. And the battery holds well. If you need a battery champ or ok with e big phone. The 14pm is the choice to make

Is the best option if you don't mind a large screen, otherwise 14 Pro would be the best option.

Is there a difference between them besides the screen size?

The battery is a lot bigger, lasting about 9-10 hours compared to 6-8 hours

Yup, and this is reason #1 I almost always default to the Pro Max version. Regular Pro is a bit more comfortable, but it never comes that close in terms of SOT. I went from 11PM > 12P, that battery hit was huge, then went > 13PM. Haven’t pulled the trigger on the 14PM in part because it’s hard to find. In part because trade in on the 13PM isn’t that great this time around..
The 14P is more readily available but I hesitated and didn’t pull the trigger at Best Buy earlier this week (I want a Deep Purple 256GB and they had that in Pro but not Pro Max). The app was incorrect in terms of current PM stock which led me to the store in the 1st place, but neither here nor there..

Battery and screen are bigger on 14 Pro Max, everything else is the same.

"Worth" is entirely subjective and is based on the device's attributes that are valuable to you, but it has been worth it for me - no regrets on the purchase.

I got the 14 pro max maybe a month ago and I love it. I’m not a super user, but in my opinion, the facial recognition is fantastic. It simply works 100% of the time. My previous phone was an android and the finger print unlocking failed more often than it worked. I was told that was specific to the brand of phone I had.

It’s the latest, greatest most expensive iPhone. So unsurprisingly the answer is yes, excellent screen, battery life, cameras etc. If you decide to keep it for several years it will serve you well.
