new laptop time... decisions decisions..

it will be my only machine and i will just be using lightroom , now i can get a 15" XPS Dell for around £600 thats an i7 8gb ram job... the MPB will cost around £900 for a 13" one with only an i5... i think to be honest speed wise i would not notice much difference but is a 13" screen to small for full time use ? is it going to be too frustrating ? does anyone use a 13" screen all the time or am i kidding myself that it will be usable ?
 
as per the thread in equipment..

the dell is actually only 600g heavier if portability is what you consider important. resolution on the 13" mbp tops out at 1280x800.

id go with the dell personally, i think the dual core would struggle with 5dmk2 RAW files.
