So there's £545 between them in price and a pound in weight (mixing my units, sue me).
The physical size, shoved into a rucksack, is not that much of a difference - but the weight (if running to work) would be perceptible.
However, putting that to one side, is the performance difference between the two machines represented well by the financial difference or is it greater than (or less than) the £545 suggests?
We're now actually well beyond what I wanted to spend, maybe a better comparison would be the non-touch bar 13" MBP with the base core i5, 16 GB of ram and 256 of storage at £1,629.
I may just park this exercise, it's a lot of money to spend to then find out you got the wrong thing.
