One more "help me decide" question...Tecra A6 vs. Tecra M5?

Ok, it's down to the Tecra A6 or the Tecra M5. It's hard to decide!
M5 pros: Serial port, mouse stick, higher resolution display, magnesium case.
A6 pros: Widescreen form factor seems a bit more comfortable to use on one's lap, about $300 cheaper.

All other specs are the same, including weight.

Anybody have any input? I really wish there was a place nearby that carried these models so I could get a good feel for them.

Don't forget that the m5 has a modular optical drive that can be swapped out for a second battery or Hdd. But I think that basically it comes down o the form factor. I haven't seen either of these in perosn, so I can't really say much about them from wexperinece. But I have an M2v (an older version fo the M5) and can say that it is great. Nice solid feeling to it, and I've heard the same about the later M3 and M4. Although, I haven't heard anything on the M5, I'll bet it's in the same category.

Basically it comes down to whether you prefer the widescreen or not?
