Default macbook pro 2.53 or 2.8?

Which one should I get? Both will have 4gb ram and both will have a 500gb 7200rpm hard disk. Price difference for me will be about $500. Is it worth the extra 0.27ghz? the mac guy said I wouldnt see the difference.

Will be running PT 8 with Native Instruments - no audio recording.
Thanks

Save the money with the slower processor. Get an external firewire drive as it is required for Protools on a MBP.
