I've owned both 17 and 15 Apple laptops at different times.
At times, I've missed the advantages of each - screen size versus slimmer bulk.
I decided to go with a 15 plus a nice external monitor when I had to make the same decision 3 years ago.
But I still enjoy using my father in law's 17 MBP when I get a chance. He's 6 foot 5, and being wider makes it a true laptop rather than something he has to balance on one leg!
