I got a 15" MBP back in November, quite happy with it. I'd upgraded mine to 2.8GHz, 4G and 512MB video, but only have a 320GB drive. That ran me to just over 3K with tax, so the price has definitely dropped a lot.

I do have a minor issue with the video-out occasionally not realizing it's hooked up to a DVI monitor. The screen will only contain red, green and blue dots, no recognizable image. Easy fix is to switch monitor inputs to VGA then back to DVI or to unplug/replug in the cable. It doesn't happen a lot but seems to be related to waking up from sleep.

I don't care for the glossy screens so I put on an anti-glare film from Photodon:
