I just picked up 13-inch rMBP from Apple the other day but noticed Best Buy lowered their previous generation models by $200. I paid around $1,460 (current generation, 2.4GHz/256SSD/8GB Ram) and I can get the 15-inch for about $1,640 (I have $80 in rewards certificate) The 13-inch suits me well, but for the price wise, which is a better buy? It's about a $180 price difference in my situation.
 
Seems like Best Buy lowered all the previous gen, might pick one of those up instead of the current one.
 
What would be the main differences between the current gen and previous gen 15inch? Might just also consider purchasing the previous gen model.

New base 15 done NOT come with a dGPU, where as the older gen does. Worth it right there, IMHO.
