I understand you are seeking the best value, but given the purpose you describe I think you'll find 128 GB storage inadequate. Also, the 13" MBP is a significant compromise in performance, primarily due its lack of a dedicated GPU.

Consider this one instead: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/FV922LL/A/refurbished-154-inch-macbook-pro-26ghz-6-core-intel-core-i7-with-retina-display-silver

Twice as much storage, twice as much memory, a better, faster CPU and a dedicated GPU. I think you'll be happy with it for a long time.
