The 13'' Pro will be more than adequate for your needs. If it were me, I would be inclined to purchase a 13'' and use an external monitor in my room for added screen space.
The 15'' Pro has a lot of computer in it and some of the features it sports, like high end graphics, are going to be wasted if you don't make use of them. If you're ok with that, nothing wrong with the purchase and if you do everything on the laptop's built-in screen it would be worth the money.
One great thing about these retina displays is that while the actual workspace on the default settings is not very large, you are able to scale up to higher resolutions and still get a great image. 1680x1050 is a bit small on my 13'' but I do like 1440x900. It's a great looking resolution on the 13''-14'' range with ample screen space. Apple's pretty much the only vendor left doing 16:10 aspect ratio as well.
