The 13" seems so nice and portable after getting to see the non-TB model, but I have a 15" now so the 13" seems a bit small. It's a 2008 model so it's 1.5 pounds heavier, but to anyone who has gotten to use both new MBPs, how does the 15" seem in size/weight compared to the older models? A decent amount smaller/lighter/more portable?

One other question about the graphics because I am seeing a ton of differing opinions so I figured I'd offer an actual use case... If I do a little 4K editing and some photo editing and no gaming, should the 13" suffice or is it just a waste of time? I'm either going to go with the $1,999 13" and up to 16GB RAM or the base 15" plus 512 SSD and probably up to the 460 bc why not if I'm spending that much already? I am hoping to run this into the ground like my current 2008 MBP, so the 15" seems like it'll get me further with the quad core and dGPU, but I'm no expert. Appreciate any help on either of these.
