HELP!! Mac Connection vs. MacMall

Ok ,so I have finally decided to get my very first mac and am trying to figure out where I should get it in time for Christmas. I am looking at Mac Connection and MacMall at their Macbook pro 2.4 previous gen models. I have obviously never used either of these sites before and was wondering what anyone's opinions were between the two. I am trying to find the a good price but am not going to make a foolish decision just to save a buck. If anyone knows of other places to look that would be great too, I just hope they aren't sold out yet!

Thank you so much!

Ordered from both, both are great companies.
Apple is not like microsoft in that anyone can just go and resell their products. They have pretty high standards on the companies they allow to resell.
