Maybe I'm just a retard... lol.
I figured that if I were replacing the Blu-Ray drive with an SSD disk, it would need to be as small as possible.
However, I have since ruled out that option, I think, as the Blu-Ray drive on this computer is slot-load and I'll probably use it fairly often.
If anything, I'd probably replace my existing HDD with an aftermarket SSD and sell the original. (I already have an external, so I wouldn't need the 500Gb Dell drive that's included with this comp for anything if I replaced it.)

Didn't know that. If the version of Windows that Dell sends me is 32-bit (which would be very annoying), I'll ask them to mail me a re-installation DVD of the 64-bit Windows 7. Failing that, I'll just "acquire" a 64-bit copy via other means. Either way, I was planning on reformatting the computer as soon as it arrives, as I am not a fan of bloatware.

Fair enough. No need for any debate in this thread though, as my comp is already ordered.
And thanks to a few replies here I have a pretty good idea of how much the comparable MBP would cost anyway, so that question is over and done with.
Now, if only Purolator would hurry up...
