I had exactly this dilemma about a month ago. There is a £400 difference, and for that extra £400 you don't really get a lot of better hardware (just a better graphics card), BUT you also get 2 more inches of screen and its made of alluminum! It looks hot and has a larger screen, win win win. Macbooks are still also only 1st gen, so there are still a lot of issues (2 of my friends the plastic has cracked off the edge just from use, it gets scratched easily, his screen won't stop fickering and there is a lump protruding from the front of one).
So I went for the MBP. If you have the spare money, invest it.
Only thing is, now, I'd wait til the expo in January, they may update it. The MBP/Powerbook design has been around for about 6 years, and with all this touch screen they're implementing into everything else, you never know...
