Ok...so I want to get a MBP to replace my iBook G4 (I know the iBook's not that old...get over it)...Do I go for a brand new one $1799 with my educational discount, or should I get a refurbed one for $1549? The new one has a 2.0GHz Duo and the refurb has 1.83, but other than that, the specs are the same? Advice?

I recently bought a refurbed iMac 20". I am very happy with it and i was able to save a couple hundred bucks that i put towards Apple Care.
