First I'd ask is it an external mouse or a laptop trackpad that you're having trouble with. If it's a trackpad, an inexpensive external USB mouse might be a cheap solution (if that's your only reason for changing.)
Probably the most important question I would have you answer is, "are there any programs that you currently use on your PC that you couldn't live without and for which there are no comparable Mac programs?" That can be a deal breaker. The current version of Office/Mac is not much different than the PC version, assuming you don't need Microsoft Access (the database component.) You haven't mentioned any other programs.
Since you have an iPad and an iPhone, you'll certainly appreciate the synergies that are available between those and a Mac laptop.
As far as Safari, yes, it's easier to use than on your iPad or iPhone. Still a bit quirky, perhaps, but a lot depends upon what you're used to using for a browser. And you certainly could consider switching browsers to something like Chrome on all your devices, if Safari isn't your cup of tea.
Finally, there are some Apple/Mac support groups in the Villages that could be very helpful in the transition. Check the Rec News for info.
