Apple Store it is. The educational discount is pretty good. Prices are about the same.

And another question: iWork vs. MS Office - what is better? I'm leaning towards the iWork suite. While it would be nice to be able to transfer files between my work laptop (PC) and the Mac, it isn't necessary. Having said that, is iWork documents transferrable / readable on MS Office applications?

Thanks all for the help!
