The 13" Pro doesn't need to be playing in that $1,200 neighborhood anyway, IMO. At this point, I think the Air, when you consider its BTO upgrades, nicely covers that $999-$1,399 range for 90% of the population.
That $1,499 Pro, with Touch Bar, quad-core, beefier graphics, etc. makes a nice "halfway point" transition between the Air lineup (including its upgrade options) and those higher-end $1,799/$1,999 13" Pro models (which, hopefully, will even be more "Pro"-worthy whenever they're updated (16GB RAM out of the box, etc.).
