Thanks Daniel, yes i like the 27" Thunderbolt displays. i have an iTunes library around 220GB and photos >50GB, so 256GB no good for me and no doubt they will get bigger not smaller.
Do you feel that the extra cost of the retina is worth it over the non-retina MBP in 13". I always wondered why the retina machine doesn't have the Superdrive built in. Any reason? I suppose out of habit I will find it hard to go without a Superdrive but lots of other machines in the house if I need to burn something - or just buy an external USB Superdrive.
