Macbook Air (2011) to replace Macbook Pro (2009) - Bad Idea?

-

anyone planning on using updated macbook air "pro" machine?

i'm coming 15" mbp 09 apparently lemon best buy giving me $1800 it. while loved pro few years ago, todays lowest end i5 machines can handle aperture c2d machines. i'm getting updated macbook air , save change other apple treats.

know air isnt pro machine, i5 13" macbook pro had temporarily ran aperture infinitely better old mbp. in terms of power i'm not worried , kinda have storage thing figured out because still "work" 24" monitor , 2tb fw drive on desk. overlooking? know im justifying things because prefer 13" air on 13" pro, foolish expect out of air or updated (presumed) i5 air direction computers heading.

advice
 

assuming can 1 of 17w i7 processors in 13-inch macbook air on refresh, should good-to-go. should rival macbook pro 2009 , come out ahead. note, though, hard drive space fall short; hard drive speed thing entirely.
