2GB RAM (maybe 4GB down the road, when Ocelot or Lion comes out).

Interesting; 2-for-2 on the 200GB at 7200 option. I'm not sure I like the idea of losing 50GB of storage; perhaps the next MBPs will have even bigger HDs and size vs. speed won't be an issue.

My desk at home isn't situated in such a way that I'd be getting any nasty window reflections, so I think I'd like that crisp, dark look. I love my Dad's glossy iMac screen. Everything just seems richer, and seems to "pop" so much more.

This is exactly the type of feedback I was hoping for re: the display. I travel a lot and use my PB in all kinds of lighting situations. Given that fact, should I simply avoid the glossy options without much further thought?
Thanks again.
