The main issues w/the 12" seem to be: 1. It *is* small. Some folks have complained aboubt it seeming cramped. 2. You can't boot directly into OS 9. This may/may not be important. 3. It lacks a level 3 cache. 4. It has a mediocre graphics card. I recently got a 15" Ti. I'm very happy. It's a great balance/compromise, but that opinion is based on my needs. YMMV.
