Are certain keys on your MBP brighter than others?

It's normal. It's going to depend a lot on the angle you're looking at the keys from, and I would imagine there's small variances in exactly how the keys sit on top of the lights (for instance, my space bar apparently isn't perfectly level, so the light is brighter at the edges than in the center). And my W E and R are brighter than the other keys in that row.
It surprises me that things like this bother people or make them worry that there's a problem with their computer. I don't notice it unless I'm specifically trying to see if there's any variance.

That would be because you've got more of a direct line of sight to where the light is coming from.
Was that even a serious question? Of course you will more light, because you are looking through the gaps right onto the LEDs.
Its perfectly normal that some keys are a little bright than others. You can also notice that each LED is not perfectly aligned to each key, thus there is variance in the amount of light you see when you look at the key from the top.
I would only be concerned if one key really sticks out, then its a LED failure which is covered by warranty. If not, enjoy your shiny new tool and stop worrying about every detail!
just quite it and enjoy ur mac.

The 7 key on my 2010 MBP 13" and on my father's 2011 MBP 13" is also dim compared to other keys, regardless of the viewing angle.
