I was a bit nervous about the MacMall stories, too. But I ordered my MBP from them in early November, along with a bunch of free-after-rebate(s) accessories, and got the order with no problems. And five of the six rebates showed up in my mailbox yesterday.
(My 2.4 glossy MBP was $1349. I gambled that they'd sell out before the price dropped any further, and lost. What really stings, though, is the $1449 2.5's -- I wasn't willing to shell out an extra $200 for double the cache and VRAM, but for $100 over what I paid, I would've jumped on it.)
No regrets over passing on the unibody MBPs, even after disassembling mine to upgrade the HD.
