Ill look into that tonight.

is the gtx 660m better than the gt 740m?  The benchmark scores I've seen give a huge advantage to the 660, which is strange bc the cheaper laptop has the better gpu.

The 660M and 740M can range from being absolutely identical, right down to the 660M being superior.

They both share the same amount of Shaders, almost similar clockspeeds and even one version of the 740M uses the 660M's core.
However, with the 740M you can be gambling between DDR3 and GDDR5 memory, which is where the difference is.

I would personally go the 660M at any rate.

Thats the one I'm leaning toward.  Would it be worth waiting for a price drop?  It's listed at 929.99 (-11%).  The model came out 11 months ago.
