My wife and I are soon purchasing MacBook Pros for the both of us. Both 15" models and I'm going to get the beefier of the two for myself as I have quite a desire to get into video editing - especially with kids soon on the horizon. I've been reading as much as I can lately about Macs and it's my understanding that the new version of OS X is coming out in October. Ideally we'd like to get these powerbooks before October. Any reason why we should wait besides the obvious that I won't have to buy it later?

I don't see any reason to wait if you don't mind buying Leopard later on. I probably wouldn't be able to wait myself and want to start playing around with it, learning the OS and all.

Not really. If you need the machines now, buy them. If there's something in Leopard that is a "must have" feature, you can always upgrade later. The process is much more straightforward than it is with Windows.
