Macbook Pro Retina (Late 2013) 15 inch or 13 inch?

[iMore Question]

I can get either a 13" 866 model (512gb, 8gb ram, 2.6ghz i5) or a 15" (256gb, 16gb ram, 2.0 i7). If they were the same price which one would you choose?

I would choose the 13" model for portability & storage.

The 15" rMBP is significantly more powerful than the 13". Don't be fooled by the i7's lower clock speed.

The rMBP 15" is a $2000 computer though. Unless you do a lot of CPU intense tasks like Final Cut Pro, etc. you probably don't need it.
