Edit: The 13" Macbook Pro should also have a higher quality screen than the whitebook - I'm not 100% certain on this, however the whitebooks that were available prior to the introduction of the unibody Macs were not very good, in my opinion. The current unibody Macs have what Apple would term their pro quality screen across the lineup.
You're correct on the upgraded screen in the unibody (aluminum) MacBooks. They did go to a higher-end LED panel with the latest product refresh in June. You're also bang-on with the resale value vs the white Macbook. The aluminum unibody's are well worth the extra $200.
