The only thing there that could possibly make a difference to me is DDR 
RAM, and to be honest I don't see it being worth more than $700.  We're 
all 802.11b on campus with pockets of 802.11a, so AirPort Extreme is 
pointless.  802.11b at home with no speed issues so no reason to pay 
the money to switch to g.  Firewire 800?  Nothing I have or want would 
use it.  Bluetooth?  The phones that use it are ones I can't use with 
my cellular company.  Lighted keyboard?  Cute but no need for it.

Besides, another good thing about buying such a bargain - when it comes 
time to upgrade again we've spent less on the front end so it hurts 
less.
