I've had my fair share of 12"/14.1" laptops and even the current MacBook (and even some UMPCs - OQO/Sony)...I had the original 17" PB...and now have the 17" MBP. I haul it around everywhere. It is not that heavy, nor much of a difference (aka "awkward", as people usually say) to travel with. If it were me, I would choose the 17". I also have a 17" Dell XPS that sometime travels with me instead - much heavier than the MBP...but still...not awkward and travels very easily.
Maybe I am just different though - the weight is not an issue.
-to add, I believe almost just as important (if not even more) is the actual method you transport the laptop and accessories (i.e. standard carrying case, backpack, sleeve, saddle-bag, etc.)
