Thank you Ranulph, I bought my 13" Macbook from Dixons Tax Free and I am really pleased you reminded me that it IS the best discount available - usually.
All thoughts of hi-res screen and anti-glare options have gone out of the window since finding THIS though: Comet are offering £100 off the lowest spec'd 15" machine and using a Voucher Code: (81000AW) there is a further 8% off orders over £1000. They throw in Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac - Home & Student - free, worth £99.99 too. The total price is £1,287.08 Dixons Tax Free: £1,362.73 Apple Store: £1,499.00 Arrives Tuesday! Hopefully the above is useful to anyone else thinking of buying a 15" Macbook Pro.
