Is Trados Studio 2019 very much different from Trados Studio 2017?

I have not been working a lot with Trados 2017 for the last 3 years and if I did, it was rather on a simple level, only with files and my own TMs or with packages from clients with integrated TMs and glossaries. Actually I am having a new client where I need to work with Trados again and on a deeper level which requires more knowledge and handling of tools like connecting to worldserver, generating glossaries in the Glossary Converter etc. Again and again I am finding myself with technical issues (cannot connect to worldserver, glossary converter does not work or any other error messages) and it takes me ages to find the reason or I do not find it. Maybe some of the issues also have to do with the fact, that I work on Mac in the virtual machine Paralells and Windows 10 installed on it. Therefore I thought to buy a support package from SDL for one year to make sure, that I get immediate help when I face these problems. But I cannot get a support package for Trados 2017, only for 2019 version. My question to those who made the step from Trados 2017 to 2019:

1. Do these versions differ a lot? Was is easy or a challenge to get into the new version? 

2. SDL Chat support told me that I can have both versions installed. Are there any inconveniences with having 2 versions installed on my Mac? Could that create another issue?

Thanks and looking forward to hearing from you.

    Designed with user experience at its core, SDL Trados Studio 2019 transforms how new users get up and running, helps experienced users make the most of the powerful features, ensures new levels of productivity for the whole translation team and helps in delivering unrivalled quality in your translations.

    What’s New in SDL Trados Studio 2019:

     

    • Get started easily with on-demand tips and tutorial videos: From the moment you open SDL Trados Studio 2019, you are guided through each area with tips, tricks and tutorial videos showing you how to create and manage projects, use the translation editor, and get the most out of your translation assets.
    • Instant access to every feature and setting with 'Tell Me' technology: Did you know Studio 2019 has over 700 commands and 1300 settings, that’s a lot of functionality. Our new ‘Tell Me’ technology helps you access a setting 4x faster. Tell Studio exactly what you need to know: simply type in a word or phrase, and Studio 2019 intelligently suggests commands, options and settings that you might want to access.
    • Effortless project creation and simple project updates: Create projects up to 28% faster with the brand new one step project creation wizard. Adding and updating specific files mid-project is also now a much quicker and pain-free process – up to 82% faster than Studio 2017.
    • Enhanced quality checks: Studio 2019 introduces the option to customize settings for each language, increasing your flexibility and control over quality assurance (QA) checks. When you run a QA check in Studio 2019, the source and target segment are now included in the report, so you can see at a glance exactly where each error occurs.
    • Improved translation memory (TM) management: With Studio 2019, you have more control over the Translation Memories Editor: you can now view up to 1000 translation units per page, navigate to a specific page or directly to the last page of a TM, meaning it’s quicker and easier to sort through your TMs, change and update translations
