Uh no. The hi-res screen is 1050 high. Which is not enough for the iPad simulator in portrait mode at 100%. It works because the simulator simply gets scrollbars, but I find that very annoying.
The 17" is 1200 high. Which is is good for any iOS device in the emulator.

What's the minimum you'd use for iPad development?
Doesn't the iPad only fit on the 17" MacBook Pro? I don't think there is any other MacBook that can hold the iPad simulator.
You can scale the simulator down to 50%.
And if you don't need the window chrome, you can fit almost all of the iPad simulator onto a 1440x900 display. Enough so that its definitely usable.
The high res 15" screen is suitable for every resolution/orientation of iOS devices currently available.

An iPad is only 1024 high, does OSX have a way to disable the window chrome?
That would be a nice hack! Bring it on!
