I guess that Sean will give you the best answer here - just wait and I'm sure he'll soon reply here.


For now, my 2 cents would be:


1. Put the new MacBook at the back burner as this seems like the last thing on earth you need now.


2. You need more space? no problem, buy more HDs - INTERNAL ones. Why the heck pay more for external ones? (unless you want to easily carry them with you around when you are not at home)
