Thanks Toby (and Jason)

I'm going to go for the 13" Air - I like its design and having been to the Apple Store to literally weigh them up - it's going to be far more versatile. I need to get out of the mindset that every device I own has to do everything!

If you are travelling or commuting I would go for the air, If you are mainly working at a desk with occasional moving from A-B and could use the extra power then the Macbook Pro. The prices are very similar now, and the air isn't a slouch by any means.

    all of them?

    Depends on your usage needs. MBP has longer battery and will cope
    with 'industrial' stuff like coding video, photoshopping large
    pictures and so on a lot better. If you're on the move a lot
    during a day with email to do and documents to work on in
    half-hours, ten minute bursts, meetings etc, I'd go for a MBA. But
    you'll get around half the battery (one day's worth, max).

    Not sure I would use an 11", after years of using laptops. 13" is
    the sweet spot for me.

    I speak as someone who has (through work) a former series 13" MBP
    with SSD (lighter, better battery). That's probably the best of
    all possible worlds (but would cost about 1500 from scratch). It's
    about half a kilo more than an air -- but I don't need the power
    charger with me!

    If you have a lot of peripherals, then again a Pro has the edge
    with FW.
