Maybe my eyesight is so poor, but I have compared a couple of times Air with MBP in the Apple store and I was not blown away. Yes, the retina looks a tick nicer but it's not like you see every pixel on the Air screen either. IMHO people are overhyping the retina screens.

They are. On a phone its a huge difference but on a big screen where your further away, it doesn't make that big of a difference.
