Went down and looked yesterday. 13" MBA it is. The 15" MBP really isn't a consideration. To get a meaningful performance advantage over the MBA (and that means 8gb ram and a 256g SSD) you're looking at $2800 bones with applecare.

The top of the line MBA is 1800 with i7 and 256gb SSD. That leaves plenty of $$ for an external display, storage, keyboard, etc... for home use.
