A bit disappointing that I've only got 71 cycles and my battery is down to 93% of capacity (and I did a full calibration about two weeks ago).

My MBP is 12 months old, but I exchanged my battery about 4-5 months ago as part of the recall program.

Current capacity: 5127 mAh
Original capacity: 5500 mAh

Hehe... I completely forgot about the recall. My battery is only a couple of months old, since I got mine replaced with the recall as well.

I've had my MacBook for 1.5 months and have 42 cycles, and my capacity is still higher than it should be.
