After looking at todays updates including the new imac and 13 inch retina mbp, to me it is pretty clear that the 15 inch rmbp is apple's best computer. I really just don't even get the pricing on the 13 inch. Why would ANYONE spend $2000 on a 13 inch rmbp when you could get a 15 inch for $200 extra that destroys the 13 inch. As for the new iMac, the price really starts to add up. No cd drive, 5400 rpm drive standard (ouch!) and quad i5 processor. If you want a fast hard drive you have to get the upgraded model, plus add $250 for the fusion drive. The price really starts to creep up. All the computers are nice but to me it looks like a pretty clear choice between an air for around $1000-$1200 or get a 15inch mbp if you need more power/screen real estate.
