A few q's for those who are rocking the MBP w/ Retina displays. The time is drawing near for a new laptop and I'm not quite sure which direction to go. An upgraded 'normal' MBP or MBP w/ Retina to take advantage of the flash storage & speed.

- What size flash drive do you have? 512 or 768gb?

- According to how you answer, do you find it is enough storage for your workflow and needs? (I don't do much video, mainly stills)

- Is the speed really worth it/amazing?

A bit of background to help the discussion:

I'm on the move a lot and prefer not to tote an external HD along with me no matter how thin it is. I do all of my editing on this machine and don't own a desktop nor plan to in the near future. I currently have a 2009 MBP with 750gb of capactity and haven't done a great job of keeping my HDs freed of space. I assume I can get away with 512 if I only keep current projects on it and don't archive a bunch of crap. Just need to be less lazy and actually move things off my HD. Everything is backed up, but I'm bad about moving things off to create room.

Thanks for your thoughts, looking forward to pulling the trigger soon.
