I will be replacing my early 2011 13" base mbp. I wanted to try out the 13" rMBP again because the first one that I had was refurbished and defective. IR appeared within 10 minutes, and the desktop menu bar disappeared and reappeared. I decided to order 13" MBA with the following specs 1.8/8/256, but a few days later Apple dropped the prices on the high-end MBA and on the 13" rMBP. It was too late to cancel my order, because it was in the shipment process.
Yesterday, I bought the 13" rMBP with the following specs 2.6/8/256 and so far I'm pleased with it. Its flawless. I have not encountered any IR as of yet. The screen is awesome. I'm not sure if LG or Samsung makes the screen.
When my MBA arrives to me this week, I will be returning it, because for $200 more I get a better screen, better keyboard, faster CPU, and a few extras like HDMI output, and two Thunderbolt ports.
