MBP gets you 2GB more RAM, Firewire, SD card slot, backlit keyboard, aluminum unibody.

You get plenty for the extra $200, IMO.

Of course, if you want a 15", you have to go MBP.

I love my MBP but I would not recommend it for real gaming. I'm sure it's cool if all you want to play is SC2 and some older games, but for $1249+ you can get something else with a lot more gaming horsepower.

If gaming isn't a big deal I highly recommend a Macbook Pro. I've owned laptops from Dell, Acer, Asus, HP, and Gateway. Of those, I'd only consider buying a Dell or Gateway again (many would argue against the Gateway and they might be right, but mine's been good). But I haven't enjoyed any of them as much as my MBP.
