Personally - am looking forward to holding the new phones in person before making any decisions. My wife has already said she wants my 5S - she was waiting for the 6 but believes just too big for her to use comfortable. I'd love to justify a 6p - but these do just look too darn big. Have to see it in person. Wonder when Apple will add the near field tech to an updated 5S or new 4" phone entry.
I was worried, too, Larry - so I made my own 3D phone models based on a post here:

Added some cardboard to make it 3 dimensions, added a virtual case, too.
I decided on the plus because;
1) better battery life. I use my 5S a lot and need a battery case to last all day. iPhone6 with battery case is about the total volume and more weight than an iPhone6+ with a slim case.
2) Better camera with OIS.

PS The Apple Watch adds NFC features to someone using an iPhone 5.x.
