lazyweb: macbook or macbook pro for aperture use?


I mean, of course, if money is no object, get the most pimp-daddiest MacBook Pro with gills of RAM and stuff. But... Will the new solid aluminum case MacBooks do the trick? (and, yeah, if money truly was no object, I KNOW I'd rather get a fully maxed out Mac Pro with dual 30" displays and terabytes of storage...)

I need to replace my antique home system, and need something that can run Aperture well (not necessarily pro speed, but well enough that I don't want to throw the fracking thing across the room while waiting for it to catch up...). I'd initially planned on getting a 20" iMac, but think it'll be better to maintain mobility.

So... Will the new MacBook do the job for running Aperture (and other stuff). Just day-to-day use, and daily workouts in Aperture. Is the MacBook Pro really worth the roughly extra $1000$600 for a little more screen real estate and a real video card?
