The Note 9 would cost me about $6 more a moth though for 24 months. It's got the bigger battery, but is it really necessary ? I'm not on my phone all the time and I'm home every night very normal user a blue collar worker. I don't think I'll ever use the pen either. If the build quality is better with the Note 9 then that's a different story, which I heard nothing about that aspect.

I had the Note 9 and the S9+.
For your needs I would say get the S9+. Also ergonomically the S9+ is a bit better in my opinion.
Good luck.

S9+ will be better

I too would recommend the S9+; especially since you stated that the bigger battery and S Pen are not must-have features for you. Good luck, and let us know what you decide!

If you aren't using your phone as often, and the pen isn't a huge draw for you, I'd stick with the S9. Generally, if something doesn't wow me, I'm not likely to spend extra on it, but your priorities may be different.
