I was all ready to buy a surface book PB when it eventually (if ever) comes out in the UK......mainly for Photoshop and digital art production. However during the couple of months wait (still ongoing) I discovered the Wacom mobile studio pro 16 that I had somehow missed as an initial option! I have ordered the Wacom over the PB for several reasons, these being: the Wacom device is now actually comperable in price since MS put their prices up recently in the UK. The Wacom has a better more pen & paper like feel about the pen & screen interface, mainly due to the screen surface. The Wacom has a much more powerful discreet GPU and double the vram of the SBPB. The Wacom i7 processor is a higher powered faster mobile variant than the PB version. The Wacom has a 15.5" 4K screen, and the Wacom has better pen technology (certainly for slow straight lines and tilt) than the PB. The Wacom has a 3D camera and 1 years software licence. Lastly the Wacom is here in the UK and the SBPB isn't 
That's my take anyway, So it's goodbye from me to MS hardware, never having actually owned any, and a happy reflection on waiting and researching just that little bit longer before making a jump. I just hope I get a good one ! I would have also considered the Viao canvass z but that is not available in the UK.
