If you already have an external unit and aren't going to be moving it, doesn't seem like it would be worth the extra $$, unless it is minimal. OWC has units for $99, if I recall correctly, and as much as I wish I had a Super in my Mini, I'm probably never going to do the upgrade.
Especially when, 4 months after I bought it, Frys had the same Mini, but with the faster HD, better video, 2x the RAM and a SuperDrive/Airport/Bluetooth, for $90 more than I paid, and I have a combo and no wireless (and 256mb).
$804 for 2GB of RAM? And a combo? Is that a Core Solo or Duo? Either way, I'm sure it is a nice unit -- but when it starts getting close to $1000, I'd start looking at MacBooks in the refurb store.
