If you can get a deal like that, jump on it while you still can.

As for the discs, stopping by the Apple store, and the Genius will actually install the OS for you free of charge. I believe this should still work with Lion, so then head over to the Mac App Store and download the thing.

There is also a way you can make a Lion Recovery Flash Drive off of Apple's website (the key thing would be to use a friend's Mac which has a recovery partition installed, so he/she can make you the flash drive).

You need to have already purchased Lion from the Mac App Store, as it will ask you to type that all in when installing Lion.
