2015 13" MBP vs. refurbed 2014 15" MBP for photoshop illustrating and light gaming

-

i knew in need of laptop soon, need sudden of yesterday. i'm trying decide between models listed in title, , specs listed here: http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro. in both cases, baseline models. 15", id wait refurbished 2014 pop up. im on tight budget, since i'm using computer making art , writing lesson plans, both of don't pay well. decision hinges on whether $500-600 worth needs.

needs:
make illustrations on photoshop, data heavy layers textures, etc. use external display, more screen size nice, not essential. (this notice big slowdown current hp laptop, runs on integrated gpu 2010 , 4 gb ram , overheats after 5 minutes.) id run games, purchased unable run on hp (bioshock infinite, arkham city, starcraft 2) , light weight indie games (ftl, minecraft)

reviews on new 13.3" mbp model in, tend not understand benchmarks without firm anecdote attached. i'm wondering if can meet needs now, , years come. worry iris gpu, i've heard has improved generation, still causes system sputter time time.

15", im getting bigger ssd , twice ram, better gpu, , imagine last year's quadcore haswell can still overpower year's broadwell. however, it's lot bigger , heavier, , more expensive. if that's takes job done, shell out cash it. there others in refurbished store cheaper, more 2 years old @ point.

unfortunately, need computer work , can't afford wait broadwell show in 15".
 

i'd save $500-600 , 13" model . yes bigger screen better , easier on eye honestly, if youre not used 15 inch screens wont notice difference unless have been using 15 inch screen past few months.
