I have a Early 2011 13'' MBP with a 2.7 i7 processor. I make music and I'd like a 15'' as the screen is a little better and I figured having the extra cores could aid in speed/performance.

My questions are: There is someone who has a 15'' Early 2011 but with a 2.0 i7. Is it worth it to trade mine for theirs? - In terms of speed and performance. We would do a HD swap and theirs has 16gb as does mine - might take my RAM aways.

And the other question is - could I just take my SSD out and put it in their computer, boot up and be fine, or would the HD need to be reformatted or something given the computers have different specs?
