Blade 14 because it is more powerful without being any more expensive.

I'd go for the Razer Blade out of those two. It's more powerful and it looks bloody amazing.

If you really want the highest of high end get the Blade 14. Dat Screen tho...     The only reason I would go with the Macbook Pro would be if you really needed thunderbolt connections.
