If you want the matte screen because it's more colour accurate, then forget it. Buy an external screen that was meant for accurate colour work, because no laptop screen is meant for colour accuracy, not even the new laptops with screens claiming to have a wider colour gamut.
If you are like me, you want the matte screen because you don't like the reflection that you get, and this is an issue that you can't really argue against. Glossy screens have a strong reflection. That's how they are.
I don't think many real professionals, not those who just "call" themselves "pros", are complaining because of poor colour accuracy of glossy displays. If it's important, then they can find time to plug into a quality external LCD or CRT to check the colours, because if their work was important, then the 40-45% colour gamut, and 6-bit (times 3) LCDs in all laptop LCDs (as far as I know) aren't going to give you quality results, whether you choose matte or glossy.

That's true, but only if removing the matte option means that things were moving in a progressive direction. It's not. If all screens were matte like they used to be, there wouldn't be a complaint in the world.
Glossy screens are actually easier, and cheaper, for manufacturers to make. I don't know if the colour saturation and contrast are the reasons why computer makers are switching to glossy, or whether it's because of the cost savings.
