Question MacBookPro - glossy or matte option?

As subject says really.

Added a poll- glossy screens or Matte

Which is better?

Will be using it for a bit of everything

Any suggestions? Go for glossy and get a matte filter?

Doing photo work you should stick to a matte. Also I find glossy is far too reflective especially in an office with flourescent lights etc.

I use Photoshop, but moreso for editing home piccies.
The lappy's main use will be Internet/Office and Pro-Audio apps......

Just been reading about the glare issues in several blogs that's why I've posted

Dan, I'd not get too hung up about the screen if you get a decent external screen for PS.

So generally, you'd pretty much look at the matte screen.......
