Tell me how I should bite the bullet on a long overdue laptop purchase from Dell

I have been browsing around Dell after seeing the 750 off 1499 coupon over on GottaDeal.com, but saw some laptops in the Outlet that caught my eye.

Outlet 6000

Outlet 600m

These suckers seem pretty much loaded, and when I configured in the Dell Home with a new laptop and the coupon they were more. (This may be somewhat understandable because the high price of some included software that I have no control over due to the fact that Outlet computers are prebuilt and not customizable)
Should I go with a "return/refurb" outlet? If so, which one. No need for gaming, just using for some business, book keeping, home use on a wireless network, travel use, and things that do not involve games or video editing.

Can you get the 6000 with XP Pro instead of Media Center? Media Center seems like a waste on a laptop.

The outlet is a "what you see is what you get" place, so I cannot change any specs on either computer.
