Just sounds like its the older version with the matte instead of glossy screen. For pro work, glossy sucks. So you may be better off with this older version than a new one.
On the other hand its always better to buy from Apple if you can because there's so much less hassle if you have to return a machine: you have a certain window where you can return instead of apple-caring a screwed up unit. This saved me immense hassle and expense when I had one of the early hissing-spitting-noise macbook pros, since apple would not acknowledge this as a defect and hence wouldn't cover it via applecare or even repair it at all since it was "within spec". I returned it and bought another one instead, which didn't have the problem.
