Advice on rMBP 13" vs rMBP 15"

-

hi guys,
yes, thread 13" , 15" rmbp mid 2014. :rolleyes:

i'm designer , programmer makes ios apps , web apps (full stack), concept realization.

sketch, photoshop, illustrator, sublime text, xcode used apps , learned use bit of after effects.

of course can define myself pro-user , that's why loved mbp far (early 2008 , late 2011).

i've used 15" mbp , i've stayed , worked home. in next months traveling around world staying , working in different places (coffee shops, hotels, etc).

leads big dilemma of 13" or 15" rmbp.

spent hours in apple store didn't seems help.

i'm working on 15" mbp hi-res configuration, 1680x1050.

13" rmbp has same resolution (in scaled mode of course).

know 13" incredibly portable , comfortable bring around i'm afraid same resolution of current mbp smaller display uncomfortable me, design , stuff related.

current mbp weighs around 2.5kg, 13" rmbp around 1.5kg , 15" rmbp around 2kg.

whatever i'll choose between configurations:

- 13" rmbp i7 3.0 ghz - 16gb ram
- 15" rmbp i7 2.8 ghz - 16gb ram

important question: 15" 2.8 ghz consumes more battery "base" 2.5 ghz? battery important me.

recommend? think use case 13" fine? or should buy 15" (getting more space).

lot guys!
 

if main computer , not have external display attached of time, go 15". heck 17" if still had available.
