Having used both MBP (15) and MBA (11) in parallel, can say that I haven't noticed a difference. Both suffer for lack of screen real estate, but the additional bulk associated with the MBP made it the worse option, despite the slightly larger screen.
An external 27" Cinema display works with either, and makes for better iOS development (storyboards are voracious users of real estate).
The only difference I noticed between the two was Eclipse development; getting 16GB in the MBP made for much faster compiles.
