Do you have any relative or friends that are students? The low-end Macbook Pro is only $1999CDN for students, and comes with a free 4GB Nano after Apples' Mail-in-rebate. Sell the Nano for $200 off, brings that down to $1799 ignoring taxes.
The MBP is all around a much better notebook, and comes with a real video card - 128MB Nvidia 8600M GT. If you have a copy of Windows, use boot camp to dual boot and it becomes a very capable gaming notebook. It weighs only 0.2lb more than the Macbook despite the much larger screen.
Definitely not worth it for the ram upgrade (it usually never is from the OEM). The Macbooks use the same DDR2-667 sodimms as everyone else, you could pick up 2x1GB sticks for under $80CDN (link)
