If you're in the U.S. you need to learn to deal hunt. You are waisting a ton of money paying that much.
#1 Buy from an online resaler and avoid sales tax - $271 saved
#2 Buy Applecare off Ebay for $130 - $210 saved
#3 Buy your RAM upgrade somewhere else - not sure how much, but you will save.
That alone will save you about $600 and you're just as protected as if you bought it right from Apple
