The white MacBook is the better deal, but if you need Firewire, for audio interfaces for example, the MBP is the better choice.

You're right, I thought you meant the 13" MBP, which has no dedicated GPU.

With better deal, I meant battery life and the smaller package. But for you the MBP seems to be the better deal, as you also have a bigger display (15"), thus more resolution to work with. And the Firewire interface of course, which will come in handy for external scratch HDDs or audio modules.
