OT: MacBookPro advice needed.

This is a little off target from the question you actually asked, but  
I wanted to share my experience going from a 15 in MBP to a 13 in MBA.

The biggest impediment I found to getting work done efficiently on the  
MBA was not the lack of speed.  It was the fact that the 13 inch  
screen seriously limited the number of apps I could have running side- 
by-side. This then got  in the way of such basic operations as copying  
text from a Word document into a text field in an application I was  
building in Rev or having a PDF of the Rev manual open at the same  
time as I was using Rev. I eventually decided to go back to using a 15  
inch MBP pretty much exclusively for the screen size.

Of course, YMMV.
