1GHz TiBook or 1.25GHz AlBook?

[David Oei]

Need some opinions here. I want to buy a new laptop to replace my 550
TiBook. I was originally going to buy a 15² 1.25GHz AlBook but see that a
lot of the stores have the 15² 1GHz TiBook for about $500-600 less. Anyone
have experience with both? Will I notice that big of a speed difference? I
know the things that I will be missing if I stick with a TiBook ­ USB 2,
FW800, backlit keyboard and 2x superdrive. But is that all worth $600?

BTW, I do typical web design work (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Photoshop) with
occasional print work (Quark, Freehand).

I¹ll also bring up the option to wait a couple of weeks to see if Apple
announces any new machines/price cuts. My gut feeling says they won¹t, but
my gut feeling is usually wrong. ;)

Any opinions?
