Early 2013 15 inch vs Late 2013 13 inch

Hey guys
I am going to buy my first Macbook which I intend to use atleast 4 years. I have these two options for almost the same price.
1- Used Macbook pro 15 Early 2013
2.4 Ghz Core i7
256 GB SSD
8GB Ram
Nvidia GT650m
2- New Macbook pro 13 Late 2013
2.4 Ghz Core i5
256 GB SSD
8GB Ram
Intel Iris Graphics

So which one should I choose. I am more tempted to buy the early 2013 model due to dedicated gpu and a better processor. Battery life is not an issue. What I am concerned about is the normal use performance of Intel HD 4000 as I have heard issues of lagging. As well as the SSD of late 2013 is much faster in theory. Will I notice it in practical use as well and is the early 2013 SSD fast enough?
Thanks is advance

Do you like a bigger screen? Do you want better speakers? Is a dGPU needed for you? Do you need a quad core CPU? If so get a 15".

Need portability yet still need a zippy machine? 13" model will take care of that.
