I'm not sure about the non-glossy screens, which I think, as non optional, can't be bought over the counter in an apple store. I don't recollect seeing these screens (which are very nice: I've got one).
There are different educational discounts, and the sotres can only give the smallest of them, which is for people involved in education. If your institution is a signed on apple institution, then, if you order as an institutional member the discount is much greater: I was astonished, and kicked myself for not having discovered this before. If you're buying as an individual, cancom also do an educational discount: have a look there, too. Finally, the biggest discount of all, bar buying as an institutional member, is at Heathrow. You won't find these prices on the internet, but they are typically about 15% lower than shop prices. Terminals 3 and 5 have them: others may too. You need a dixons or a PC World (where they actually have mini PCW apple stores and even people who seem to know a bit). To buy, you just have to be a traveller (ie, no outside the EU requirement) and you can have the item delivered to you at home.
