but is it really "terrible"? From the videos that I saw, once you got past the headline and saw the result, yet, if you pushed really heavy loads it would start throttling. when that happened, it would slow down. in most cases that slowing was not unusable. Unless you plan to do a lot of that kind of process, then it should not be a problem, If you do a lot of that, then you would want the real pro machines, the 14/16" MBPs. That 13" is still a placeholder with the old chassis and old cooling system and is only "pro" in the broadest of definitions.
