I would not be buying any Mac this time of year... the entire range is up for refresh.
They have just moved their financial earnings call to avoid a scheduling conflict (from the 15th). The new Regent street store opens on the 15th. Rumours suggest new products this month. If they open the new store with 3 year old Machines then they have lost their minds.
i7 vs Ram wise, you can still upgrade the ram yourself on the 27's so defo don't buy that from Apple. -

i7 only really worth it if you are using software which specifically takes advantage of multiple cores.
As said already, add extra RAM yourself to save money too.

So I called into the Appke store on the way to dinner last night and looking at the iMacs has maybe tempted me away from buying a mbp.
If I went for the mid range 27" one would my money be better spent upgrading to the i7 or on more memory?
Guess the memory can be done later (and probably cheaper) but the processor has to be chosen at purchase?
