XGA TFT LCD vs Ultralight XGA TFT LCD in Lenovo Laptop

Hey guys, I'm thinking about purchasing an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad X61s ultraportable laptop and I need help choosing a display.

There are two options:
1. XGA TFT LCD
2. Ultralight XGA TFT LCD

The description on the IBM website says that the Ultralight is brighter, lighter, thinner, and consumes less power.

Normally it costs $50 to upgrade to the ultralight, but I'm using the 50% off coupon which makes it $25.

My question to those of you who have owned or seen the X61s with both displays, will I see enough of a difference to justify spending $25 more on the ultralight display?

Thanks!
 
It's just $25. Even if it's not a huge difference, the bit of battery life and weight savings that you gain is worth it.
 
I wouldn't. It's already light enough already. Unless you're bringing it to the International Space Station, you probably won't notice any difference unless it's LED backlit.
 
"...brighter, lighter, thinner, and consumes less power..." for $25 sounds like a no brainer to me. Unless you're really hurting for cash, I'd grab it.
