What's the difference, other that 20 more Gigs of hard drive and the
color? Can't see that's worth an extra $200. Is there any reason I
shouldn't go with the cheaper one?

Other than you *really* liking the black color, no. The 20GB hard
drive upgrade can be built-to-order for $50, leaving $150 for just the
color.

Me, I bought a stock $1299 model, and used that price difference to add
2GB of RAM from NewEgg for around $170. The black may look slick, but
my white one with 2GB is a far better computer than a black model with
the stock 512.

Unless you're in love with the black, I'd save the money for better
things.

You actually pay $150 more for a black MacBook when all the options are
ordered. I don't think the extra money is worth it, but obviously some
people do.
