Certainly. It also has twice the default RAM and the bigger harddrive. Basically, you get the earlier _faster_ 20" model for the price of the entry-level model. (It's stayed the same price here.) Plus the graphics. You've already mentioned that the better graphics card will be more important with Snow Leopard.

There's also the theoretical advantage of moving to 6 or 8 GB of RAM.
