Buying High End Laptop. Check the Specs

I have been researching for about two weeks now, putting together loads of different configurations and looking at alternatives. However it came down to either Alienware or Dell XPS, and after some extensive comparisons I concluded that the equivalent XPS is cheaper that an Alienware, but you can push the Alienwares further up the scale of performance but this come at top dollar which I don't have. To be perfectly honest I have always dreamed of having an Alienware, I think that is a shared wish for most of us, but to do it right costs just too much.Ok, so originally I settled on the WoW Edition of the M1730 as they have a deal going on right now which knocks about $600 off the price making it $2399 before taxes (free local shipping), but again after more research I saw just how much stuff comes with it that it got me worried about the shipping wieght. This being an issue since I use a forwarding address from the States for my internet orders and they charge by the LB.
By the way I would still be interested in this version of the M1730 if anyone had any info on the total shipping weight.So now I have turned my attention to the regular Edition of the M1730. After a little tweaking of the build this is what I have.PROCESSORIntel?CoreTM2 Duo T9300 (2.5GHz/800Mhz FSB/6MB cache)
OPERATING SYSTEMGenuine Windows Vista?Home Premium Edition SP1
MEMORY4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
HARD DRIVESpeed: 200GB SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) Free Fall Sensor
INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVEBlu-ray Disc Combo (DVD+/-RW + BD-ROM)
VIDEO CARDNVIDIA甋LITMDual GeForce?700MGT with 512MB GDDR3 Memory
WIRELESS CARDSDell Wireless 1505 802.11a/g Mini Card (54Mbps)
BATTERY OPTIONS85 WHr Lithium Ion Battery (9-cell)
SOUND OPTIONSIntegrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software Edition That comes to about $2599 w/o taxes and $2869 with. The only difference between this and the WoW edition being the BD ROM drive which adds $200 to the price.
So what do you reckon, dig deeper and find out how much the shipping for the WoW edition will be and lose the BD Drive or keep the BD drive and get the one regular one.
Please dont go all internet forum idiot on me and say ''WoW is stupid, I hate it therefore so do you.....etc (pointless helpless rant)''.Anyway thanks for reading this far and I hope you can give some feed back.
