I'll tell you who's right: I am.
But do you really prefer the "virtual" second button? Maybe you really do like it, in which case you're exactly right, it's just opinion. But so far the best I've heard anyone say about it is that it's tolerable. "It's not that big a deal" or "you get used to it eventually". I've never heard anyone say "it's better than a normal button".

As for the scroll ball, I rather like it -- it's a bit small, but the precision is nice. I can understand someone not liking it, but it certainly has its advantages.


As for the actual updates, I'm very happy with the Mini update. FireWire 800 surprised me. And apparently it supports two monitors now (haven't confirmed that, just heard it elsewhere). Thumbs-up for me.

Edit: Yeah, the Mini does support multiple monitors according the the tech specs.
