I think he was talking about the 15" 1.67GHz model - not the 17" 1.67GHz model.

Anyway, I thought you could opt for a 15" 1.5 model with the updated video card as a BTO - only difference then is HD and .17 GHz speed.

Wow - not any more ... I just checked - didn't Apple used to offer the extra RAM on the video card as a BTO for the low 15" model on the last revision?

As for your question - I don't know how much 230 Euro is worth to you. But look at it this way, if you spring for all the options on the top end 15" model, you can rest peacefully knowing that you have done your best to future proof your machine ... and you won't be wishing a year or so down the track that you had opted for a bigger HD or more video RAM. Also, to further rationalise it - how long do you plan on keeping this PB? 3 years? Well, 230 Euro over the course of three years is about 76 Euro per year - that's just over 6 Euro a month ... to paraphrase Homer, "At these prices you can't afford *not* to buy a fully tricked 15" 1.67GHz PB!"
