It's all up to your needs in the end. I am always for more battery and better optimisation than latest and fastest! We are in a weird period in terms of PC hardware. Things settled down and people expect new shiny hardware every year or two. But why? Get used to it, you don't buy latest car model every 2 years. If a machine gets the job done use it to every last bit. Bought rMBP 13" (maxed out) in November and I can see myself using it for 5 years easily! Consumer society is hungry and they want redesign, shiny new specs every year. But those times are 20 years behind us. So just enjoy in your machines... :)
