For what it's worth, this is the exact reason i stopped using my surface pro 2(and tried and didn't buy a SP3/4).
I've had more than one surface, and quit using them every time because of how crappy they are to use on anything but a table. I've almost gone back a number of times for the reasons you mention, but know i would regret it at this point.
I find myself wishing the "book" and the "pro" were the same machine. Sometimes i just want a laptop, and sometimes the SP form factor is pretty awesome with how much thinner/lighter it is. It's never enough to get me back off of my MBP though.
