I've been using 15" MBP's since the unibody in 2008, and am currently on a Mid 2015 15" MBP with a 512GB SSD and 16GB ram, and I've LOVED it. I mainly do front end web development, Photoshop, and use it as an all purpose work / media machine. I enjoy the screen real estate, but it's performance has been slipping a bit and the fans LOVE to ramp up for minimal tasks. I even have a new battery (Apple Genuine) and it STILL depletes quickly!
The new MBP's are enticing, but I ask myself "do I REALLY need the big model anymore?" I'd really like a 1TB SSD and perhaps 32GB of ram to have this thing for 5 years or more.... but dang those prices. The 14.2" makes it more palatable and am interested to know if it's very close to the 15" I currently use in visual user experience / real estate, etc.
Has anyone compared the 15" head to head with the 14.2"? Is it worth the screen shrink?
