Is it really worth it to buy the lower end 15'' macbook pro compared to getting the stock black macbook? The regular macbook has a faster optical drive, larger standard hard drive, same amount of ram... Does it really seem reasonable to spend ~$500 more for a 2 inch larger screen, slightly better graphics card, slower optical drive, less HD space? Just my $.02...

We have a thread on this particular topic already:

New MacBooks are just as good/better than my MBP?

Ah, thanks. I don't venture over to the MBP's side of the forum. I figured something should have been posted here since the MB was the one updated. Thank you.
