I'd say go for the low-end powerbook. That's what I did and here's my main reason why. Resolution for external monitor. This may have changed by now, but when I was choosing, the Powerbook supported 1920x1200 resolution to an externally connected monitor which is what I run (see link). The ibook only support 800x600 or 1024x768. I can't remember which, but that's fine for the built in screen but not for an externally connected monitor. I would've bought the less expensive iBook if it had supported the bigger resolution.
