Another point about the retina screens that should be pointed out - they are
significantly lower glare than any of the non-retina MBP or Air displays. I've worked in an office with a just-south-of-current generation MBP alongside my Retina and there is a staggering difference in glare.
This would be something you'd want to double check in-store - not sure if a current gen 13" or 15" non-retina has the same screen construction that results in the lower glare, but I'm inclined to think they don't.
I'm actually fairly certain that's the case, because they say this on their website:

More colour and contrast. Less glare.
The Retina display reduces glare up to 75 percent while maintaining incredible colour and quality. In fact, it has a 29 percent higher contrast ratio than a standard MacBook Pro display. Blacks are blacker. Whites are whiter. And everything in between is rich and vibrant. IPS technology gives you a wide, 178-degree view of everything on the screen, so you’ll see the difference at practically any angle. And you’re going to love what you see.
