dude, just got mine ordered today! Work let me choose and spec "whatever I wanted", so I got this:
15" MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz Dual Core 4 GB RAM 256 MB video 160GB @7200 rpm
I can't wait....this is going to be SICK. I also went ahead with the wireless mighty mouse and a sweet case. I will let you know how my adventure in Macland works out.

That's sick, man. Keep in mind that you'll get less battery life with the faster drive (that's what I currently have) and that the Mighty Mouse is less than mighty. I'd suggest a regular multi-button mouse. Keep us posted on how you like your first Mac, man.

any idea what kind of battery life I can expect? also, how much improvement will we see with the new LED-backlit screens (as opposed to the LCD's on previous models)? I would have to assume between 30 & 60 minutes of improvement. That is just a guess, though.

I'm loving mine, as you well know.
@brad: Battery, watching a DVD on battery 90 minutes.
Working with not too much disk churn ~ 3.5 hours last time I paid close attention. It's not a huge battery saver, but still a ton better than my 03 PowerBook G4.
I think that VMWare Fusion is the bees knees. I don't have any feeling that //s will be around 18 months from now.
