And the seller stated the the Final Cut Pro and other applications he will include are his registered applications. So I suspect that it will come with install disks, since he must have bought the programs legally for it to be registered to him.
So would the PB be better?
That is a fine machine. You probably could knock the price down a little, unless the software is genuine... then $750 is a steal for that package.
Before you agree to anything, though.. don't assume that the discs will be included. The lowball price is a tip off that the original discs are more than likely not included. The programs may very well have been legally purchased and installed, but if the seller doesn't include the
original discs with the sale, then the software becomes pirated goods. In order for him to be 100% legit and sell you a machine with all of that software he must include the original installation media and registration codes. Otherwise, it would be no different than someone downloading the software illegally and installing it on the machine.
Check and make sure that you get all of the original media before you agree to anything with him. If you won't get the original retail media then I would look somewhere else.
