But I was wondering is the newer MBP's worth getting over a regular macbook. Suggestions.

Really depends on what you need it for...for surfing the intertronz, playing music and writing some word docs...that's fine.
If you want something that can handle real video editing, photoshop, and pretty much anything that's graphically intensive...you're going to wish really fast that you'd gone ahead and gotten a pro. The integrated graphics cards in the MB's just don't cut it too great for that stuff.

If you are going to need a pro, consider the one I'm currently selling:

This.
If youre not going to be pushing larger more complicated programs, it will be fine. But if you want to run them well, go with a pro.
