MacBook Pro 9400m vs 9600 with FCP

Alright, I had a Black Macbook and it died. Long story short in about 2 weeks I should be getting $1500 credit to get a new macbook. I want the 13in Macbook Pro for $1500, however I want to run FCP. Now I want a 13in laptop because I like how small it is. Now I want the power the 15in Macbook Pro with the 9600 graphics, but the size is too big for my liking. Now I would like a first hand experience with anyone who used FCP with the 9400m graphic. I want to know how well(bad) it will run FCP. I have talked to a few people and they said dont even bother with the 9400. If that true, I guess I'm getting the 15in Pro. Any input, thanks.

This isn't about the graphics card but I would reconsider the 13 inch for editing. I can't imagine editing in FCP on such a small screen. Especially HD. The 15 is about as small as I would want. Just a suggestion.

Well the thing is I use it for photo editing and a 13in is perfect, however not going to lie, didn't think of the screen in terms of that, haha. I have used FCE on mine and your right about that.
