SB2 is certainly more capable, especially with the optional 'discrete graphics' base. But too hard to justify for me. At this point I'd rather have multiple devices and some reduced capability when I travel light.

Yeah, 15inch model is too expensive, but if you combine the price of ipad 12.9 and macbook pro 15, it is not so bad. However, SB2 13 inch is better in terms of price, around 2600-2700 for 500GB, i7, and 16GB memory, if I am not mistaken (inculding additional discreet graphics).
So, some 14 inch Mac of similar tech may coust around 2000-2800, depending on the components.
Or if Microsoft is overpriced because of the marketing addit. costs, Apple may even make it consciously significantly lower. Let them make it around $1800 and it will be sold like nice cookies.
