Any of you guys using the new 15" Retina MacBook Pro?

I'm looking at grabbing this one...

15"
2.0GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz
16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage

See any downfalls here? I currently have

13"
2.3GHz Intel Core i5
16GB 1333MHz DDR3
480 GB SSD

Will this be a significant upgrade? Will the quad core processor be a serious boost?

New computer just came in the mail. Have any of you guys recently upgraded your machine? How did you get all of your audio Apps/Plugs transferred from the old to the new? Did you do clean installs for everything or clone one machine to the other or do a migration assistant transfer or something else?

I use Migration Assistant for Mail everything else, instal again. Its worth the day or two it takes to sort out. cheers Wiz

This is where Ilok shine's altho wave's system is ok. Everything else and I have to go looking for my scraps of paper .
