The Extra 200$ are worth it
The Backlit keyboard is pretty good, even if you think you won't use it you will and it's a really nice gadget, The Alu Body is way better than that crappy plastic from the MacBook's they have a better resale value because they don't get so used over time
 
yes, especially when I've found two places selling them brand new for $999 if you or someone you know lives in the KC area.. Microcenter & Nebraska Furniture Mart are on sale.

Texas also has Microcenter. But the macbooks are normally on sale too for either 849 or 799, I cannot remember which.

Regardless, the MBP is the better buy.
