New air or old Pro

What would you pick if you had to choose between the newly announced MacBook Air 13" 128Gb or the old retina MacBook Pro 13" 128Gb.
The Pro would only cost €60 more.
I'm strongly leaning toward the Pro but I would really appreciate some other opinions as well.

Thanks
Cal
 
Go with the pro. Once you go with a Retina display, you'll never want to go back. Completely worth it in my opinion.
 
Thanks guys, the only reason I am even considering the Air is the battery life.
The official figures are 12 hrs for the Air vs 9 hrs for the Pro.
If they stay like that for a long time I would definitely buy the Pro, but I'm a little scared that the battery life will deteroriate and I really need at least 6 hours. That's kinda the reason I'm buying a Macbook.
If anyone could share their experience regarding the battery life of either MacBook that would help me out a lot 🙂

Thanks Cal

The Air will definitely get better battery life, but both will easily get more than 6 hours of usage for the foreseeable future. I would definitely go with the Pro unless battery life is a priority for you.
