I have , currently on order, not yet shipped a 2.4 refurb that cost me $1784 with tax. It has not yet shipped so I can still cancel.

I have been having second thoughts about the new Penryn that I can go to my local Apple store and pick up. I am torn right now becasue of my fear that Ill get another Samsung yellow screen with my 2.4 refurb.

I need some logical points of view and maybe someone that got this exact refurb recently can chime in... help a brotha out

the penryn models have the same issue.
so if you're worried about the screen, getting the new one will not give u a peace of mind,
just search the forum for penryn owners exchanging their MBPs 3-4 times.

get the refurb, if you have a problem with the screen, call it!
ou might end up getting a "new" one as a replacement.
so you paid a refurb price for a Penryn? isn't that great? you beat the system
