If you found a good deal on the last gen one... I say grab it! Awesome machines since Santa Rosa, all are pretty cool (temp) and very fast! Unless you really love the multi-touch trackpad or need the little bit of extra speed, which most of us honestly don't, then go for it!
I bid on and won a 2.2 g macbook pro on ebay for $1,400. Not sure if that is a really good deal but what is done is done. I guess I could always resale it and hope I get my money back. Any thoughts if that is a good deal.
Thanks for all the feedback. It does seem to be a better deal to go with the 2.2g

assuming its in good shape thats a great deal! Congrats! $600 off the new price! Hope you enjoy it!
As the previous people said, the only differences are slight power bumps with the Penryn chip, multi-touch trackpad, bigger hard drives. I just bought the last generation MBP 2.4 GHz brand new on clearance a month ago with an education discount for $1699. (Originally $2500) I love it! Could've paid $1799 for a current one, but I only had a limited amount of money and so I figured i'd spend the extra $100 bucks to boost my RAM to 4GB.
I'd say you got a great deal if it's in good shape. Way to be!

I also just bought a 2007 Santa Rosa for £800 with 2 years warranty.
Differences are smaller harddrive, a 128mb graphics card rather than 256mb, no multitouch trackpad and also it might come with Tiger.
Still, for an effective 35% discount I think I did good.
