Well I already have a 24" iMac. Right now the MBP will be for me to take to work.

The way i am thinking though, because apple ships two 512MB sticks of RAM in the $2000 model, in order to upgrade to 2GB would cost me close to $225 dollars after shipping charges. So for $125 more I can double the VRAM and get a faster processor. It's a tough choice.

But for me, the faster model was kinda out of my budget anyways, since I chose to buy applecare for it rightaway, aswell as 2GB of ram.

I haven't really put it to max performance yet, though.

By the way, if I knew I was going to be 3D-ing on it in a big way, I'd go for a Mac Pro, and get myself a little macbook (or even 2nd hand Power- or iBook) for the mobility.

Because, to be honest, I'm too wary of take the mobile computer to public places. So I think I'll be looking at a 2nd hand ibook or something myself.
