17" or 15" MacBook Pro? at DVinfo.net

Hi all. . .

I currently have a 17" MacBook Pro but am going to be buying a second laptop for monitoring while shooting and wonder what the difference is between what shows on the FCP screen between the 17" and the 15" computers. I'll be using Scopebox or DVRack to monitor with so I don't think there would be much difference with those programs, but I do wonder if I'll be constrained with Final Cut once it comes time for editing.

The 17" model seems to work perfectly with FCP, but if I'd see the same things using the 15" I'd rather go that direction due to its smaller size.

Any thoughts?

Thanks much.

Stephen
