17" Macbook Pro with LED Display?

I am in the market for 17" Macbook Pro Model and I don't think I can wait till Jan/Feb for the new Penryn Chips. The Apple Online Store is estimating a wait of 7-10 Business Days. I know there was a shortage for 15 inchers with LED display few months ago but as of right now they are shipping in 24hrs (Macbooks Included). So 17" is the only one that has a wait period along with the rumored upcoming power adapters. Many people I know don't prefer the 17" due to Size and portabilty and the New LED screens on 15" has forced many 17" fans to go for 15". So the wait period does not make much sense for me. Even 2 of the 4 Local Apple Stores here do not have the 17" in stock.
Since Leopard is being released in the wild for the first time this Friday. Do you think this means 17" will be getting the LED screen or some kind of upgrade as well. I know Apple is silently working on this. But let me know of your thoughts on this one or is worth a wait for another 2 weeks
With Leopard being released will all the new Macs come with Leopard Pre-Installed Right away as well i.e 26th

Here is a news Article I read on Digitimes I should have included this in the earlier post

Also here is another one from LG

This Article does talk about various other products but this what it says about 17" LED Display for Notebooks
"LG.Philips LCD will also be demonstrating 17-inch wide LCD panel for notebooks that boast color gamut of 100 percent using RGB light emitting diode (LED) backlights, as well as a 13.3-inch wide LCD panel that uses up to 20 percent less power than previous models. This panel is also 40 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter, thanks to the usage of white LED backlights instead of conventional cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL)"

I AGREE this may be not the right time for 17" LED Display but Samsung and LG both made LED Backlight Display for 15.4' Maccbook Pro. I have to agree Jan-Feb is the time most likely for 17 incher's to get the LED. I am sure Steve is eager to get them before others do.
