    At 1350 for the 171sfx, you get the upgraded CPU ( a 150.00 value if you are able to sell the old CPU for 50.00) and the slot loaded DVD. So if the slotloaded DVD and the peace of mind not having to do the CPU swapout is worth 100.00 dollars to you, the 171sfx is worth the deal. If you dont mind the non slotloaded DVD, and you are confidant in your abilities to do the 10 min swapout of CPUs. The BestBuy FX model at 1199.00will save you some green.
