Which computer should I choose?

Hi!
I'm planning on becoming a Mac-user (!), and have decided to buy either the MacBook 13" 2,0 GHz, or the MacBook Pro 15,4" 2,16 GHz. Since I'm a student, I will more or less always have the computer with me and therefore looking for a small, not too heavy one... Now I'm stuck on which of the two computers I should get.. I'm not too good with the computer-world and need some help!
Am I missing out on a lot by choosing the smaller one, or is it as good the MacBook Pro?? Anybody have any good ideas for me?
Thanks a lot!!

Both computers are identical in specs except for one thing: The video card.

The MacBook has integrated video which means if you want to play any 3D games or do any kind of 3D modelling/CAD you're kinda screwed because they won't play well. The MacBook Pro has a true video solution with it's own dedicated memory and will work quite well for 3D.

Otherwise, do you want small and portable, or slightly larger and still pretty portable.

Also, it depends on what you plan on using your notebook for. The price difference is quite significant if you are just going to be doing simple computer tasks.
