I don't know what price point they are going to set for the Switch Pro if and when they introduce it. Since the OG Switch is already pretty expensive, I would imagine they'd have to cut that and introduce the new model at something like the old price.
If I were to hazard a guess...
Switch Lite: £170
Switch: £220
Switch Pro: £270
It will have been done to save space and cost.
When docked the switch boosts power, if you dont let it do TV it's "max" can be the undocked stats so the processor is cheaper because it isn't a faster one being clocked back.
Also if you are never going run at those top speeds you need less cooling which saves on space.
It's not just a switch made smaller, it will be different kit in there to run at the speeds they need for handheld only that's why it is cheaper.
