I visited Apple store recently hoping to purchase 13-inch rMBP.
Experienced both 2014 13 inch and 15 inch models for like a minute each (they had force touch models only for purchase but not for demo).
I was kinda disappointed with the 13-inch model. It didn't feel as snappy as 15-inch model. That 15-inch model was just gliding whereas 13-inch model felt like it was bit struggling. I used 13-inch model after experiencing 15 inch rMBP.
Just for Analogy sake, (Performance wise) 13-inch model felt like using iPad 3 on iOS 7 whereas 15-inch model felt like using a 5s on iOS 7.
I am definitely going to wait for new 15-inch rMBP refresh.
