I'm finding that the viewing angle on the MBP is so great that the glare is a non-issue. I can simply change the angle of the screen a little bit so I don't see the reflections.

I have both, and I'd never go back to the matte screen again. The glossy lets you control and eliminate glare, while the matte finish always catches and disperses it. In anything but a dim room, the matte is always washed out.

We have a MacBook Air with SSD arriving today, I'll post some test results against the MBP with a 7200 RPM drive.

The MacBook Air uses a 1.8" drive, and the performance with those is disappointing no matter what (SSD or magnetic). The SSD is significantly faster at random reads (2-3x faster), slightly faster than magnetic at sequential read, significantly slower than magnetic at sequential write, and slightly slower at random write. The power usage difference is stunning. I haven't done my own tests but found a few online showing a 30-45 minute improvement depending on what you are doing. This is pretty huge.

Overall the Air is disappointing to me. It's still quite large, and you give up a whole lot for the attractive looks. It really has last year's standard/low end specs, with a remarkable lack or ports and expansion. This is why I bought the MSI Wind instead, but the SO wanted a machine that can play WoW and decided on the Air. After actually seeing and using the Air I'm even more disappointed. All I can say good about it is "pretty."

So a few months alter I have to say I was wrong about the air. I still wish it was smaller, and hope Apple will make a 10" machine, but the Air is quite good at many things. In particular the SSD, while slower to write, is much faster to read in normal daily usage. The Air with SSD is noticeably faster and snappier at just average daily tasks. The performance benchmarks don't really give the picture of the improvement you see and feel when using it.

We have about 5 Macbook Airs in my deployment currently, all of them went to executives, and I have played with them. I on occasion have to support one of them but for the most part the higher ups are better users, or at least they have less problems. They are also not managed either, so that could be part of the reason.

However, in my experience I found them no faster than my MBP. That is just my experience though.
