David - how long is a piece of string ?
There is unfortunately no definitive answer to this kind of question.

My view is that unless you really need to upgrade now, it will always  
be better to wait until the next release.
Then get the largest RAM and biggest / fastest disk.

I have an Al-book, ordered the day they were announced, with extra  
RAM, faster disk, and after almost 4 years, it is still going well.
I have had to add a larger disk (7200 rpm 100Gb Seagate).   The  
screen was replaced by Apple because of the white spot problem.
I expect that early next year, I will replace it with the latest  
Powerbook Pro.  I will move to Leopard as soon as it it available.

All the best, Trevor
