Is it better to buy an old stock MBP 2.2 early 2011 or buy the late 2011 release?

I know the early 2.2 has 1gb video card and the late 2011 has 512mb butthe price is almost the same.

Need some opinions.

Thanks

Do you need 1gb Video card?
 
it all depends on what you want to do with the computer. do you need a gig of DDR5? that's for you to tell us...

I might if i will be doing some videos. I just checked The price of the early 2011 is $300 cheaper
 
speed difference is negligible between the two, and for $300 cheaper you get a 1 gig video card, right? go with the early 2011, no doubt.
