This. I thought the 11" would be too small, after carrying around a 15" MBP for many years. I am perfectly happy using an 11" on the go and using an external monitor when home. I wish I had an external monitor larger than 20" though. In fact, I really wish Apple would make a 24" or 25" Thunderbolt display!
The only reason I would possibly get a 13" MBA would be for longer battery life.
I have miniature hands so I can't help out with your question, Ric.
