Anyone have a dock for their Macbook Pro?

I've been thinking of getting rid of my PC desktop, selling my blackbook, and buying a new 15" Macbook Pro with 3.06ghz Penryn. Life will be much easier having a single computer :)

I will need to get a dock for when the laptop is used on my desk.

Reviews of macbook pro docking solutions?
 
This is the only one that I know of. They don't have Unibody versions yet. I've never used one but have heard mixed reviews. Seems the older version fit the ports too tightly, if I remember correctly.

But do you REALLY need a docking station? Get a bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard, and they only things you'll need to plug in will be the display and Power.
 
I HATE the bookendz. We got a bunch of them in at work and they are horrible. I would never plug my laptop into one of them, they seem very hard on the ports.
 
sure, it's called the 24" LED Cinema Display.
The whole point of a dock is to snap your computer in place and have all the cables and crap already plugged in. The 24" LED display is the polar opposite of a dock, you have to mess with half a dozen cables every time you move the computer.

For a company that hates cables, Apple sure know how to fill your desk with cable spaghetti...
