I'm about to purchase the new macbook pro 17 from amazon. $134 less than from Apple and no tax means almost $400 is saved… amazon only has the base model without any upgrades, but that's what I wanted anyway.
Any reason to spend the extra money and go with Apple directly? Is there a better place to buy?

I recommend buying an official Apple.com refurb - you'll likely save more than from Amazon and they often have very current models. The machine will be indistinguishable from new, aside from the packaging and comes with a full warranty.
Put the savings towards buying cheaper Applecare from Amazon :)
