    I understand that the 15" might have more features that would be beneficial, but it is a little cost prohibitive. I am looking at 13" Pro with Retina, 2.7GHz Dual-core, 8GB ram, 128GB PCIe-based Flash Storage. Will this work?

    I'm sure you'll be fine with the specs you posted. The SSD and 8 GB RAM will make a bigger difference than the processor IMO. You may want to consider 16 GB of RAM though, if you can swing it.

    I'm not sure how helpful articles and forum threads from 2012 and 2013 will be. All of the models posted in the responses are outdated at this point.
