Dual Core 13" vs Quad Core 15"?

I

iMore Question

I'm buying a MacBook Pro for a relative. This person does light web development (HTML/CSS/JS) and photoshop work that applies to web development (no super huge magazine type photo editting). MacBook's are expensive so I want to make sure I make the right choice on the matter.

Can the Dual Core 13" MacBook Pro run photoshop for these purposes and still preform well? If so do I need the 3.0 i7 Dual Core? or is the 2.6 i5 good enough?

Would you recommend 16GB of ram? or will 8GB be fine?

Thanks so much for your help
