Using zoomed in rMBP 13" instead of buying rMBP 15"

I tried out the rMBP 13" with the large text setting under "display" in settings, and have decided that it can suffice instead of a 15".

Thoughts?

Well the benefit of the rMBP is that the resolution can be scaled up. So while 1280x800 will do most of the time, one can always go from 1440x900 or 1680x1050 when the situation requires.

is it understandable to get a 13 instead of a 15 for this reason?

The 13-inch is more than capable. Test both out at the Apple store if you have one nearby. Most people only need the 15" for very specific reasons.
