When my current Pro gives up the ghost I'll be going for an Air as its replacement. I used to do a fair bit of video editing, but the only remotely processor-intensive thing I do now is running Parallels. But with the RAM maxed out and a decent amount of SSM I experience no difference. I do still keep a USB 3 bus powered 1TB hard drive handy; but haven't needed to use it once so far.

My road warrior gear is now: MacBook Air 13", iPad mini (with keyboard case) and iPhone 6+.
Apple doesn't make an Air with Retina Display. (unless you're just talking about the 15" mbp) i think that the lack of Retina is the biggest gripe.
