Help Deciding Between These Two Builds

Hey community, can I get your input on the below builds? The macbook will be for personal use and replace my desktop as it gets older (currently at 3 years old). I do not plan on doing any intensive tasks, but would like to future-proof it as I anticipate keeping it around 3-5 years. My goal would be to push two 4k monitors smoothly. I prefer the 13inch form factor, but for around $400 USD you get a larger screen, better speakers, quad-core cpu, and discrete graphics. That seems to be pretty cheap for all those upgrades in terms of Apple pricing. I should also mention, while i prefer the 13inch form factor, the 15 is not too big for me to bring around. 13-inch Touch Bar and Touch ID ($2,169) 3.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.7GHz 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory 512GB SSD storage Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 Four Thunderbolt 3 ports Backlit Keyboard - US English 15-inch Touch Bar and Touch ID ($2,519) 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz 16GB 2133MHz LPDDR3 memory 512GB SSD storage Radeon Pro 560 with 4GB memory Four Thunderbolt 3 ports Backlit Keyboard - US English
