Since the MBP antennae is enclosed in aluminum it will not have as good a range as the MB's in plastic. I have had both and while the MBP's has improved over the years it still can't compare to the iBooks or the MB's.
I think this has been posted about numerous times. Good luck with the MBP, I like them worlds better than the MB and you've posted the only operating advantage the MB has over its aluminum brethren.

What's funny is my powerbook pulls better signal than my friends macbook does.
I was kinda surprised myself.
Good luck. I've seen some stuff about boosting signal, if you have a DD-WRT compatible router, it may help you out.
