That entry level Pro is what people will mostly buy anyway. It's more durable. It's better looking. It's greener. It's more feature-complete. It's not a lot more expensive. The only reason they're keeping the plastic model at all is so the absolute poorest Mac owners have an option. I could see a time in the near future when the plastic Mac disappears completely and they all go unibody.
This isn't the Windows market we're talking about. There aren't multiple crippled versions of OS X. The Pro line has a lot more class and all of them have the complete version of OS X. Having only one line of hardware when there is one OS makes perfect sense. The previous division was really pretty arbitrary.
