you could keep waiting and every 6/8 months there will always be another model revision on the horizon. then you would be in the same boat then. oooh a macbook pro Air 2 comming out.....best wait for Rev.2 and so on...

My point was that SSD prices should come down soon, and that any potential drop from the $999 price would be worth it. And yes, there would always be something to foresee on the horizon, but there if there are any major problems with the current version (as there could always be with a 1st gen. product), then they will most likely be worked out by the second version (I am just talking about those quiet updates that Apple does that are almost never announced).

Which is more important to you: the difference in price or the difference in capacity? If money is not an issue, the SSD is so fast it more than makes up for the pokey processor in so many of your day to day tasks.

I picked up my SSD Air yesterday (SoHo store in NYC) and it is simply amazing. I've loaded most of my stuff, including MS Office, and still have 37Gb available on the drive. That's more than enough for a temporary home for photos, video, etc. that ultimately will reside on my desktop MacPro.

I know it's a very high pricepoint, but if you can swing it you will be glad you did. When was the last time you heard someone say they regretted getting the faster or more powerful machine?
