So I was in London at the weekend in the Apple store, comparing these two. Both are fantastic screens. I've read a few reviews that the 20" was a better screen, however I couldn't tell any different. Both were fantastic machines. Colors were bright. The 20" is HUGE, could easily open 2 webpages side by side with soom to spare. However I couldn't justify the extra £200+, so I came home, and bought the 17" with a Gb of memory
