I think you hit the nail on the head there.
I bet everyone on this thread would have been happy if Apple had just revved the Macbook Air and Macbook Pro lines instead of rolling out a whole new product concept in the MB and MBP:
MBA 11" & 13" - rev the guts, upgrade to Retina display w/thinner bezels, upgrade Thunderbolt port to USB-C / Lightning
MBP 13" & 15" - rev the guts, upgrade Thunderbolt to USB-C / Lightning
No new MB or MBP redesigns needed. Tons of money saved. Happy customers.
