Having traded down from 15" Pro (which was always too big) to an 11" Air after griping for years that Apple hadn't made any sub-13" laptops since the Intel transition, I don't envision going back to a Pro at all, let alone a 15" Pro. If I want desktop space, I have a monitor. I'm also a bit hesitant to drop £1800 on a machine where you can't even upgrade the RAM - it's less of an issue for £900.  

Another point that's come out of teardowns but is as yet not 100% confirmed: the 2010/2011 Airs, 2012 Air and 2012 Pro w/Retina may all use different types of SSD board. They'll all be available at some point aftermarket, but it underscores the message - the new Pros are meant to be sealed units.
