You MacBook Pro will be better by a long shot.
What issues do you have with your current set up? An eGPU could be a good easy upgrade option for you if its GPU intensive work?

I’m finding it a little slow in some situations. I do think that might partly be a scratch disc thing though. 120gb is not a lot, especially with all that adobe crap installed on it! I often have to use an external hd as a scratch disc.
What’s an eGPU and where can I catch, kill and skin one?
EDIT - part of the issue is a desk-space thing. Using a laptop and having to plug and unplug a load of screens, tablets, usb stuff etc is a pain and seems to take up all of my desk. i really want to switch to a permanent desk set up, then just use my laptop when i need to do quick work in the house etc.

I've been offered an iMac gratis. I'm wondering if it's going to handle Adobe stuff (Photoshop, Indesign and After Effects mainly) better than my MacBook pro - i'm desperately trying to hold off on a costly upgrade (especially after being told here about upcoming hardware releases!).
Current:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)
2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MB
Free mac:
iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009)
3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
12 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Is the graphic card in the MBP going to outweigh the processor and ram difference?
