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:
For a visual comparison, Anandtech has lots of indoor/outdoor pictures showing the Retina in comparison with the older glossy and matte screens. There are a few angles that show quite a reduction in glare.
