Apple MacBook Pro: help with choosing between 2.4, 2.53, or 2.66?

I cannot decide between the macbook pro 13 inch 2.66GHz or the 15 inch 2.66GHz!

I was going to upgrade the 13 inch and get the 500GB hard drive, and the 15 inch already has the 500GB on it, and the 13 inch is STILL cheaper.

(The 13 inch will be 1,599.00 after upgrading memory, and the 15 inch is 2,199.00 without upgrading anything)
But I'm just afraid it's going to be too small, or there is going to be some type of 'catch' between the two.

I was really trying not to go over 2,000 dollars..but I also want to have EVERYTHING I want with this computer. I sacrificed a lot when I ordered my Dell Inspiron 1520 about 2-3 years ago..and I've hated this computer. We've had at least 4 dell computers, and they all ended up messing up because we didn't get enough memory. I'm just ready for something new, so I figured I'd try out a Mac, because it's different and it seems like a good computer.

Also, I've thought about just getting the 15 inch, and getting a 2.53GH one instead, it has the 4GB of memory and a 500GB hard drive. It seems to have more in it than the 13 inch ones do. I hope all of this makes sense, lol.

Please don't sit and tell me 'mac sucks, don't get a mac, don't get either one' because I'm probably not going to listen. I'd rather just know which one of the two are better.

Thanks in advance..
Oh, I almost forgot! This information might help too..

The only thing I really do on my computer is surf the web (yahoo, facebook, myspace, ebay, amazon, youtube, etc) and I like to edit pictures (I use Adobe Photoshop. I also like to play the Sims 3. It works pretty good with my computer, I have the graphics settings on medium levels so it looks pretty decent. Just wondering which one would work better (2.53 or 2.66) for something like that? I also have around 500-1,000 songs on my computer too, but I might just leave them on this computer since I'll probably keep it..
