MacBook Pro 9400M or 9600M GT

Which graphics card do you have your MacBook Pro set to use? Or does it depend on the workload required?

Thought that would be pretty obvious? If you are wanting to play a game or do intensive 3D rendering use the 9600, otherwise use the 9400.

Any issues with leaving it set to 9600 all the time?

Battery will run down fast.

When I'm at home i use the 9600 but when i take it to Uni and use the battery i set it to the 9400.

I always use the 9400 when on the battery. When on power (except when only using iWork), I switch to the 9600

I can't remember last time I set to be 9600. So far the 9400 has done everything I need.
