I have the topped out 2014 retina mbp with 1tb ssd and fastest i7quad core,
it is an absolute beast and very light. It comes in at about 55%
performance of my high end, overclocked hex core pc workstation in terms of
benchmarks. Which is extremely impressive. It is literally 2x faster than
my 2012 i7 mac mini. It runs c4d very well. The only compromise is in gpu
(even with 750m gtx), and cost. (Close to $3k with every option). But if
you need the portability, performance and battery life on the job, it pays
for itself.
