This was my biggest concern. Having the option to use MagSafe is much better than always being required to carry around yet another charger.

Same here. I want to use MagSafe at home and the office, not carry around a bulky bespoke charger just for one device while traveling.

From what I can tell, the charging brick is the same either way. The new MagSafe is just a different USB-C cable that has the MagSafe connector on the end.

Ah, awesome, that was actually something I was hoping they would do (and probably suggested once or twice in some HN threads). If I can just plug the MagSafe cable into any old USB brick, that's way more convenient.
