MacBook 12" or MacBook Pro 13" 2016?

I choose between a MacBook 12" or a new MacBook Pro 13" without a touchbar. The laptop is needed not for every day , but as a camping one (take it with you on the road just in case), so I want something not big.
The MacBook 12 is smaller, lighter, thinner (but just a little), no fans, cheaper than the Pro, or you can get a 512 SSD for the same money and I have wanted it for a long time (also an important factor). BUT! I'm not sure if a 1.1 (1.2) GHz mobile processor is enough for me.
MacBook Pro with a 2-core 2.0 GHz processor (is it much more?), it is newer, slightly larger in size, the heaviest is 450 grams (but this is an increase of almost 50% !! to 12"), a lot of pleasant little things (+1 port, speakers, big touch, screen brightness, ...).
Question. Has anyone used a 12" poppy? Will the development work: an unloaded virtual machine with debian, idea, a browser with a dozen or two tabs, xcode, an ios emulator, etc. would somehow work without being particularly annoying.Or
can someone tell me the killer feature of this or that option so that I can decide?Well, or just write what you would choose.

Hello.
We use a MacBook 12 "(8 GB + 256 GB). I haven't installed
IDEA with virtual OS yet, BUT I'm sure that it will pull them without problems.
For me, this is the least pocketable laptop in terms of weight (not considering the price).

I also tormented myself with this choice. I have a similar usage profile. At home and at work, good powerful laptops, but I need to show documents at a meeting and write on the road.
As a result, I bought mbp13 2016 initial version.
What can I say. He's not that easy. The battery holds confidently for 8 hours and charges in an hour - this is Mega cool!
I haven’t stopped doubting, I’m thinking of changing it to a dvenashka
