I'd definitely recommend getting from them, a couple of their guys are developers too and have come to our GSDF meetings on occasion. iQ are great, they had the new MBP’s in pretty much as soon as they were available, and they can order them for you anyway, and you get the same price as if you’d ordered online.

I'll probably wait until I get back to Guernsey before I buy it, unless of course I order it online then it'll be waiting for me when I get back.

OS X is great, I have Vista installed under Boot Camp but I very rarely use it. It's a shame you missed MacHeist, I picked up a ton of great apps from there, but Eclipse, Adium, NeoOffice (or Open Office 3 when it's stable), Firefox and Thunderbird are all very solid on OS X. And you get Java (5) preinstalled of course. Damn, I’m going to be jealous of the 17 inch screen :) You’ll have Leopard too, I haven’t upgraded mine yet.
