Well I have had my 2011 MBP for too long now (base model)
So decided to go for the i7 MBP 2012 with 750GB and 8GB ram, hopefully should see an improvement in speed!! Looking forward to its arrival!

Doubt you'll see an improvement. What processor did you have before?
2.4 i5. I like to keep up to date with my macs, plus my one only has 500gb it's starting to fill up!
That's not so much up to date. It's more just chasing bright shiny objects, or in your case running away from them. The current generation offers a very moderate bump in speed, and really if you were using a 2.4 i5, your requirements can't have been very demanding, so there's no reason to pretend it's a requirement.
That's cool. What do you use your computer for, specifically?
slap in an ssd and it will run faster then ur new one LOL
True, but I would rather spend the money on an upgraded model than almost £500 on a SSD!
Most of the time it is web browsing, but I also use it for iMovie, iPhoto (20k photos) and iTunes.
Like the computer to be nice and quick all the time!
So what you are saying is, rather than upgrading your ram and HDD to an SSD you are going to buy an all new computer. Seems like a poor decision.
who says ssd was 500 dollars?

A 512GB SSD in the UK is about £500, which is around $800.

It isn't really let's think about it, I get an upgraded machine, new warranty, I'm happy, apple sell another computer.

You can do whatever you want. I just don't think you will see the dramatic improvement you are thinking you will see. Upgrading will provide the exact same advantage at a price difference of a couple thousand dollars.
