I have an iBook SE 466 with 320 mb RAM and several months back I bought the Pismo (400) that the Apple guy tried to sell me. I bought the iBook because it was new and shiny. I bought the (used) Pismo because it had a bigger screen, would accept more RAM, and had expandability with the Expansion bay. In addition, since the Pismo is easier to physically take apart, upgrading the RAM (to 1gb) and installing a larger hard drive (20 gb) was something I felt comfortable doing myself. I would never go back. My son has an iBook (dual USB) 500, and I wouldn't switch machines with him either�even the way mine came from Megamacs.com (128mb/8gb). Just my two cents.
