    Its hard to beat Amazon's customer service (just make sure it IS an Amazon purchase and not just THROUGH Amazon)

    MacConnection had a very similar deal in a recent catalog I got. They also included a free or $10 Parallels (depending) if that interested you and they are an authorized Apple retailer. They are also wonderful at almost instant gratification as they offer next day delivery (same day depending on the time of order) for a reasonable cost.

    Yep, sold by Amazon. I haven't had great experiences with their rebate but their customer service is great.

    If you buy the Applecare Protection Plan, you have the phone support and warranty with Apple for three years. Doesn't matter where you buy it :)
