You made the best choice I believe.
Not too much power because you'll never make a song with more than 20-30 layers and every Mac shipping can handle that plus any effects.
Anything more would be for gamers or graphic designers.
Always go for the largest screen you can afford. Anything under 17" is compromising. 17" is just as overall portable as the 13". Anybody tells you otherwise doesn't understand the word portable. Saying portable when they mean ultra-hyper-portable. Every laptop is portable because it's not a desktop tower and has a built in monitor. Carrying a 13 or carrying a 17 is the same thing for all intents and purposes. Before you own a 17 you see it as this mythical splurge option that is too much but after you own one you can't possibly ever get a smaller screen.
The 15 is cool.
No matter what you chose it was gonna be a more than powerful enough system for your needs.
Now just get the Waves bundle mastering software which is 10,000$. 4 times as much as the computer and just as essential to getting that nice high quality modern sound. Good luck. You're not gonna make it btw
The industry no longer exists except as a myth.
