Latitude D800 Screen Type (or Inspiron 8000)

I think I'm going to get a Latitude D800 and I have a couple of questions:

WXGA or WUXGA?

I'm afraid the resolution for the WXGA (1280 x 800) will make things too big, and the resolution on WUXGA (1920 x 1200) will make things too small. If I did get the WUXGA, would any other resolution, other than native, be distorted?
 
I think they've got a resolution in between those two, which sounds like what you might want...

For me personally, I'd never get anything above that lowest resolution. And yeah, anything below the native resolution looks kind of blurry. I'd love it if they could somehow get GPUs to scale those resolutions flawlessly.
 
They only have XGA or UXGA: 1280 x 800 or 1920 x 1200.

Does anyone have pictures of the 1280 x 800? I would like to compare with the 1920 x 1200.
 
I got the D800 with WXGA, but I dont have any pictures.
All I can do for you is this:

The WXGA at 1280x800 feels like running 1024x768 on a standard 14" CRT, just a little wider (and the screen is about 1cm taller).
It's perfect for me, and now when i've seen how this one is I'm pretty convinced that the WUXGA would be too small without increasing the DPI and getting a bunch of unwanted side-effects.
