I'm trying to decide which 13" MBP choice is better. I bought the 2010 version new and the 2009 version for cheap on craigslist (came with AppleCare till late 2012).

A.)
2010 13" MBP
C2D 2.4 GHz
4 GB RAM
500 GB 7200 RPM HDD (Hitachi 7K500)
320M video


B.)
2010 13" MBP
C2D 2.26 GHz
4 GB RAM
128 GB SSD (Crucial RealSSD C300)
9400M video

(A) has a slightly faster processor, is newer, has more drive space (though I only need about 80-90 GB), and a much faster video card. (B) was cheaper, has about 1 extra year of warranty already included, and obviously the faster SSD drive.

Price for what I paid and upgraded is about dead-on even. Thanks for your feedback!

Personally, I do not like the 9400M when compared to its successor the 320M. I also do not like Crucial SSD when compared to similar SSD from OWC and OCZ.

So I would go with the 2.4 GHz machine and upgrade it when it suited me.
