At the Apple store they should have every model, depending on if they have it in stock, obviously.

1. 15" 2.0GHz Quad Core Core i7 500GB
2. 15" 2.2GHz Quad Core Core i7 750GB

They MIGHT have the 2.2GHZ Quad Core i7 500GB @ 7200rpm, but I don't know.
 
It may very well vary from store to store.

I wanted to trade in my new BTO 15" 2.0 for a 15" 2.2. They did not carry the 2.2, but instead had the 2.3. The manager said they only carry the high end of each model. I guess it makes since being a retail store. However that may be just this store. I would recommend you call and ask.
 
They had all models at my store, except the 2.3GHZ model was only in antiglare high resolution. I had to special order my hi rest glossy online.
 
I also heard that you always have to BTO HR glossy on any model. The AG they only have in stock as a high end 2.3Ghz thus you have to BTO it also on any other model (which is very advisable considering what a waste of money the highest end always is)
 
I dont want the high end 2.3....but I think the 1GB ATI card 2.2 i7 model might be worth a couple hundred more.

they have this there, or at least they have at any store i've gone to...

and, as far as HDD and RAM goes (dunno why you'd have them do it since it's cheaper if you do it yourself, but to each their own) these they don't really have to keep in stock, because if you ask for that they'll just upgrade one of the ones they have there with what you want in it.
 
I bought a refurb. 15"/2.2/750 for $1869. when they first appeared online, thinking it would be frequently sold out. (I also didn't wish to mess with 10.7.)

(Wrong)

They have been available constantly ever since.
 
Just one out of the three stores in my area carries all models. Out of my area, the ratio is about the same.
