so, i'm curious others in scenario? photographer, i've been wanting upgrade retina mbp @ point.....should bite bullet , fix logic board , upgrade @ same time??? need computer enough power comfortably run photoshop, lightroom, etc, , deal large raw files. of storage on external hard drives, i'd have ssd increased loading speeds.

newest macbook pro retinas values? have known flaws, or desired configurations best money? also, memory upgradable? advice!!
