PS and Indesign can be pretty heavy on hardware, I'd 10000000% go Pro over Air - the Air's really are not designed for your use case.
Premier and After effects wise you need a decent CPU but a GPU would be super useful too, I'd be kinda tempted to get a smaller SSD and an eGPU and massive external to store most things on.

Deliberating options as got an itch for a new laptop...currently using a MacBook Air (13 inch, mid 2012) w/2GHz i7, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD mainly for InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator with a bit of Premiere Pro thrown in (short 2-3min pieces to camera with titles etc.) along with generic Office stuff. Would quite like to start dabbling in After Effects this year, so wondering if it's worth switching over to the MacBook Pro?
Weighing up either the 13 inch MBA w/1.6GHz Dual-Core i5 or the 13 inch MBP w/2.3GHz Quad-Core i5 (both with 16GB RAM and 512SSD, which seem sensible spec. bumps) - I'm assuming the new Air would be fine for what I'm intending to use it for, but for the sake of £300 over the lifetime of the thing will I regret not going for the Pro in a few years?
