Which MacBook should I buy?

I have to finish an iOS app and sometimes it is really hard to manage it with my i5/4G/128G 11" 2012 Air... I am a student, it is my part-time job and these new prices are just insane...
Is the 13" 2015 Air 8/128G for ~ 900€ worth it?

Other option is the 2015 13" MacBook Pro 16G/256G for 1900€.

I need at least 2* USB, 1 miniDP and charging port.
Apart from running Xcode, I need to work with MCUs so I simply need the mentioned ports (I wouldn't mind if they were USB-C, 3rd party branded USB-C to A adaptors are available for aproxiamately 10€). I need also to be able to run Win XP VM with at least of 1,25 GB RAM dedicated to that VM (Cypress PSoC Creator).

OT: As our national bank is keeping exchange rates at 27 CZK / EUR since 2013 (!) instead of 23-25 where the exchange rate would be otherwise, we "suffer" similarly to GB, but in our case it "supports companies focused on export"...
