    It is my understanding that all MBP's now have the backlit keyboard, even the base config 2.26 GHZ 13" Unibody. Is this indeed so?

    My BIL has taken a liking to the backlit keyboard on my 2.4ghz MB Unibody, and wants to buy a similar machine. I told him that the base unibody system didn't used to come backlit, but now they apparently do (at least from what is written on the Apple website).

    Yes on the MBP line now they all do have backlit keyboards from my understanding. The model you are thinking of is the 2GHz UniBody MacBook of late 2008 to early 2009 vintage and that one doesn't. I think any unibody units on sale now have the backlit keyboard.
