I'm in the exact same boat.

Lots of people getting on this boat I would buy the 17' model today if they would have had the LED option. I had a 15' Powerbook and a 15' Macbook Pro and ready to move up to the 17'. I noticed the speakers are also better and you get an additional USB port. I'll still keep my Powerbook for portability and sell off the 15' Macbook Pro.
