64GB SSD or 120GB HDD?

It's as easy as that. I'm my country these two are priced excactly equal. (Around 2300 USD) So what I'm wondering about is which one to buy..
If buying the 64GB SSD it would only be because it is supposed to be faster. As the HDD is updated maybe it has been made faster then the old one, and now it's able to compare it self to the old SSD verson? Honestly I know absolutely nothing about computers, that's why I'm asking.

So.. The 64GB SSD or the 120GB HDD?

About my needs:
I never download movies and so. If I do I delete them the second later, so if it's 64GB or 120GB doesn't really matter to me. But what does matter is:

1) Design
2) Speed
3) Feeling (When holding it I want it to feel like it's made of good material and that it's solid)
4) Graphics (For the design part. Want the screen to be as nice as possible)

What would you people that actually know about computers suggest?
I know the HDD verson isn't out yet, but what do you think?

+ with the SSD
No loose parts
Faster (?)

+ with the new HDD
Graphics
New - new gestures, works with the new Apple tv. Well..updated.


But then again. New might mean alot of bugs and stuff. Well, please help me out, I'm really stuck.


And don't suggest the new with SSD, haha. It costs 3100 USD+ here.

(Sorry about my English if this isn't understandable)

Just thinking loud:
Buying the SSD will make me feel safer, and it will make me feel that I got a really good computer. Buying the 120GB HDD will make me feel like I got a computer with a little less compromises and that the screen has been a good buy.

At the moment the SSD is in the lead.

Another plus with the HDD is the norwegian keyboard.

Final list:
+ with SSD
1,8 GHz
Faster (?)
SSD (obviously)
More solid, giving a better feeling about it.
Possably getting an external superdrive included in the price.

+ with the new HDD
120GB
Great graphics
new gestures


Anyone got something to add to the list, please do.
