I would be using the laptop for things like Photoshop, Illustrator a bit of movie editing and app development. Which one do you think I should get considering the 15 is £500 more and I could afford the 13" 2.4 now or wait about a month to get the 15" i5 2.4? Also the higher resolution of the 15" doesn't really bother me but the portability of the 13" is nice.
Got a tip for us?

13" seems to be just fine for you if the resolution ain't that big deal. 13" offers enough power as well
I would say go with the 13" unless you want the latest tech then go with i5
in speed it wont be that much of a difference go with the 13" then add a ssd drive you will still save money too then the i5 but it all depends if you want the screen 15in or 13in i have a 13in 2.26ghz 4gb ram 500gb hard drive will be upgrading the hard drive to ssd soon

Compromise, get a refurbished 15" I love my 13" but I like my son's 15" MBP better. I bought the 13" MBP for size and it's not for editing video just office work...
I was in a very similar spot, I went with the i5, at the end of the day, I wanted the new CPU. And the higher screen resolution is nice as well. I wish the form factor could have been a 13'' laptop, but the 15'' is too far ahead in regards to specs.
