HD video on base 11?
Hi -- was wondering if any Base 11 owners could tell me how HD video playback (in particular, iTunes Store downloads) performed on the 2011 base 11 model. I am considering pulling the trigger, but I had used a 2010 base 11 for about two months last year and found HD video performance terrible. Most of my use is light (mainly writing, surfing, and some Skype), and I am actually still using a Rev A 13-inch Air (562 cycles on the battery and still going -- knock wood), but with two Apple TVs in the house, I have a lot of HD video now in the cloud and it'd be nice to play it on the Air once in a while. Just curious about other's experiences. Thanks!

I've gotta say, I've been pretty happy with my MC968LL/A that I've been using as my primary over the past week. But still thinking of switching to a MC969LL/A that I have in the house but haven't opened yet. Not really for the storage space, but for the extra 2GB RAM. Really worth it though? That's my dilemma.
