Thanks everyone. I went with the 13" rMBP. In addition to the stuff mentioned already, the build quality is noticeably better. It simply feels sturdier--with a smaller footprint. It is a touch heavier, but not dealbreaker heavier at all. And the screen is exceptional. Retina definitely makes a noticeable difference to me. And since I'm doing more writing these days, that is nice. I was concerned about having less screen real estate than on the MBA, but then realized that I have a 27" iMac for that. So this was the way to go. I tried hard to make it lag in the store and couldn't. We'll see about Aperture, but that was laggy anyway on my MacBook so I'm sure it won't be any worse. I got 7 years out of my iMac and 4 years out of my MacBook and they both are still serviceable for other tasks. Macs fuckin' rock. And, yeah, AppleCare.

Picked up a small pile... thanks.

Justified...& if you'll notice at the end, my sister's now in the credits as Script Coordinator:)...

If you were in the Stax mafia, you could say you biased him... I am interviewing someone named Payne tomorrow who used to be a Sergeant.

I have to admit I liked this imagery. The fact that it makes sense just adds to the win. It's really not that different from what Ethan Winer will tell you to do. I may do the same thing, however putting some cat-scratch type carpeting over it for the cat. Everyone else is offering good advice, too.

Eh, I've fallen behind posting my recent pics here. Here's a few to make up for it, with more to come. These are from my post-CES trip, in Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, respectively:
