All else being equal:
Dual core with 7600 graphics.
Single core with 7800x2 sli and raid0 hard drives (this option is also £75 more and about 5 cm larger in width and length but has a 17" screen holding 1900x1200)
Laptop will be used as a desktop on the move so weight/size not SUCH an issue.
Im very much on the fence with this one, looking at the graphics cards the 7600 mobile scores around 1900 in 3Dmark while the 7800 (non-gtx, none SLI) gets 2200. Looking at the others from normal to SLI id guess its somewhere between 800 and 1000 points in it between 7600 and 7800sli.
The beefier laptop is huge though. It has a footprint something like a 17" tft screen.
They both use Turion chips - one is single core 2.2 1MB cache (so a 3700+) the other is roughly an X2 4200.
Very hard to choose!
