That computer is going on 3 years old... I would try to get it for less. With the newer chipsets, screens, and flash storage I see nothing "pro" about the MacBook Pro. The current offering is only around for the large education market but will be retired later this year.
I almost never the the optical drive in mine, the conventional hard drive is slow (you will probably want to pop in an SSD), and the screen resolution is low compared to the 13" Air or really low compared to the 13" Retina. Check out Apples refurbs, good deals, stock always changing. I've purchased 3 and they have all been in tip top shape with warranty.
