Would you all rather have a 16" 16x9 screen with the resolution of 1920x1080 or the current 15.4" with the current resolutions?

And does the 1680-by-1050 screen not have LED-backlighting?

The 15-inch MacBook Pro comes with a 1,440-by-900-pixel LED-backlit, glossy display. You can also choose a high-resolution, 1,680-by-1,050 glossy or anti-glare display that gives you 36 per cent more pixels.

To be honest, the 1080 resolution of the 17" macbook pro hurts my eyes and I have 20/20, so I figure 1080 on a 15" would murder my eyes. wayy too much strain for comfort. I am now typing on a 1600x900 vaio z and it's very comfortable, but I can't see me owning a 15" with that high of resolution. I think Apple's move to make the resolution 'mid grade' is a good one.
