Default MacBook Pro or Macbook Air?

Hey everyone,
Well I'm in dire need of this laptop, and I have a maximum of $2500. I've been looking hard at both the Air 13.3" with all the upgrades (256GB SSD, 4GB RAM, 1.8GHz i7) and the Macbook Pro 15" with some upgrades (1GB video card, 4GB Ram, 7200RPM hard drive, the processor upgrade, forget what it is).
Here's my Thought's so far.

Macbook Air
+Sexy
+SSD
+It's light which is actually helpful for me.
+Seems to Handle Games Well
+Seems to OutPerform the MBP in most things I'd be doing.
-Not Upgradable
-Not as Powerful

Macbook Pro
+Sexy (Not as Sexy)
+More Powerful
+Upgradeable
+Larger and Higher Res Screen
+More Ports
-Heavy
-Screen Glare
-No SSD
-More Expensive

My main uses for this laptop?

-Web Design
-Casual Photoshopping
-Maybe Light After Effects
-World of Warcraft (I don't mind low settins)
-Casual Video Editing
-Browsing
-Watching Movies / Listening to Music
-Travel Companion

Please note :
- I wouldn't 100% mind carrying around a Pro.
- I have an external hard drive.
- I RARELY use CD's / DVD's in which case I have my old desktop / can buy a superdrive.




So what is you guyses opinions? Thanks, and have a great day!
