For a casual video editor, very light gamer, multiple desktop user, Which should I get? The choices are between the baseline 15' with an upgrade 512 SSD or the top level Macbook pro with an upgraded GPU.

What is the dollar difference? Which specs are different? I'd give you an opinion but not if I need to do all the research for you.

The base is a 2.6GHZ 512SSD and Radeon Pro 450 with 2GB memory for $3239
OR
a 2.9GHZ 512SSD and Radeon Pro 460 with 4GB memory for $3859.


I was thinking of instead customizing the bottom end one with the 4GB video card for $3479

Think the base is more than enough for your needs

I agree. Base is good for the price difference. Energy the $240 for the better graphics may not be worth it.
