I am trying to decide between the base 2016 13" MBP 256 GB i5 (no TB), and the 2016 rMB 512 GB m5. They are both right around the $1500 range and that is exactly what I was looking at spending.
I will need the machine for light photo and video (some 4K) editing, and I know that the rMP is capable of handling that decently with the m5, but with the MBP it would be no problem whatsoever.
Obviously, the difference in storage is the most glaring here. I am on an Early 2011 MBP and the 512GB drive is nearly full. I have an external drive that I use to backup constantly, but I have never actually used it to run stuff directly off of instead of running it off of the local drive. Would this be an issue and would it be enough of one that I would rather have the 512GB 12" rMB? Or would the power of the MBP override the pain of not having the 512 GB?
What do you all think and what have your experiences been with the rMB or the brand new MBP? Thanks!
