Well, I can say right now that it's a fantastic machine. I haven't really truly used it yet, but I spent some time around the city yesterday and decided to take it with me. The performance and specifications combined with the ultra-light construction make it perfect for this.
The Speck case is far from the best, as a matter of fact it's back in the box and about to be taken back to the store as the plastic has been improperly cast, so it doesn't actually fit the MacBook Air, and I can see it damaging the machine if I tried to force it. Not even willing to try. For now I keep it in an STM Jacket 13" bag, padded and felt lined, and it seems to be doing its job quite nicely.
It is a lot of money to spend on a machine, but it was a case of "buy it now or the price will return to the normal $2,499 price point", plus as I purchased it before tax time I can claim some of it as a work expense.
