Just received my new BTO 11 inch Air. Got 2241 on geekbench. Not too shabby. Here is a link to the results if you want them.

Here is my MBA 13 1.8, 2gb, 128 Off the Shelf. Your MBA cost $100 more than mine
I thought the 11/1.6/4GB was the way to go....now I'm not so sure.

You have to evaulate what your needs are. Speed vs ram vs screen size vs portability vs price.
For me, I care less about speed so I don't need 2.13ghz to type a spreadsheet. I opted for a better ram because I will be doing virtualization.
falconeight your making this difficult,
was on the way to the Apple Store to get an 11 !
Your 13" value statement is clear given the benchmark posted
and the sd slot, extra battery life etc,
but the footprint overall size of the 11 just seems perfect for the light laptop.
Guess I'll have to see and decide

Please lets not get into this argument! If we were to disregard size of machine then the MBP 13 has a geekbench of 3358, and I might add is £100 cheaper than your air. indeed.
And it has a bl keyboard!
Its not the same line of mac. Its heavy and the base model has an optical hard drive and that is a big difference, and yesterdays technology.

optical hard drive = yesterday's technology? What year is it in your part of the world?

You are completely missing the point. The point is, you can't compare price to performance because the value of the 11" isn't in its performance. The other poster was pointing out that the MBP is faster and cheaper, yet you still got the MBA.
The 13" is 22% faster but 27% heavier with a much bigger foot print (bigger than the 13" MBP, in fact).
