Yeah point taken raf and Josev, out of the box a laptop offers much easier portability. I guess I was just pointing out in terms of what he asked about performance, the bigger gap is going to be between the Mini/ lower end MBP and your Mac Pro or iMac.
The question is, how much processing power is necessary? For motion graphics or 3D artists, obviously its quite important, but as someone who does interactive and the occasional print work I don't think I've ever run into a situation on my MBP (w 2GB RAM) or Mini (4GB) where it "ground to a halt" because I threw too much stuff at it.
If there's extra money left over, I would put it into the monitor. A $200 monitor is going to be somewhat poor for design work.
