I'd say if battery life was important, then stay away from the mbp and go the mba way - I have the mbp ssd 13" and yet it's impossible (even with display right down to a couple of bars) to get anything more than 3-4 hours of normal continuous wifi usage. The 11" MBA as a comparison in my hands easily gets at least 8 hrs.

For my laptop, I don't require massive processing as most is done on the desktop, so I'm pretty pissed at myself not to have gone the MBA 13" route, rather than the MBP 13"
