Mini 2.53 vs. MBP 2.66 BIG Difference?

[fogelface]

I have a Mini 2.53 I'm using as a HTPC and It's great. I also have a 17" MBP 2.66 which never leaves my desk. I do mostly photo editing. Anyone know if I'm gonna see much difference if I slim down to just the Mini? I'm thinking of selling the MBP for the cash.
Also, I can run my dual Apple 23" Displays on the mini and cant on the MBP.

Thanks

Well, the MBP has dedicated GPU, but RAM is more important in PS. Just get 4GB and you'll notice no difference

If you have the 17" you could get a video card for the Express slot and then run dual monitors. I haven't personally done that but I have had that idea kicking around in the back of my head.

Yes, really the only difference is the dedicated GPU. If you want your Mac Mini to be faster, upgrade the hard drive to this http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Hitachi/Y0A72335/ or buy a SSD.
