I would say yes and this was exactly my fear after Apple has released the rMB. This should be their fancy, toylike notebook for people that don't need much more. But the MBP should have been a different beast, if I have the choice between:
Small, thin but only slight improvements and the same battery life versus same more form-factor, more power, 14 hours + of battery life I'd always choose the latter. you know what would have justified the price increase? Performance, better battery life, 4k display and more Cherry MX styled keyboard but that's just my opinion. As a I really don't believe a pro(fessional) based machine needs to be ultrathin and ultraportable that's what the Ipad Pro and retinaMacBook are for.
