Answer:
Re: Brightview vs 'Ultra' Brightview
Depends if you like glossy screens. They are the same thing. Glossy screens are coated so colors appear sharper and more vibrant. They do produce more glare. Some others like others, others do not. Glossy screens tend to be better for multimedia things like viewing DVDs or Photos. I would head over to the local electronics store and check some of each type out to see which you like better.

Re: Brightview vs 'Ultra' Brightview
I read the Ultra Brightview has two sources of "light" as opposed to just one on the Brightview. The Brightview is glossy as well and comparing my Ultra Bright to the preconfigured Brightviews, mine is definitely brighter. Worth the money in my opinion

It's my understanding that the dual lamp displays are only available in the 17" form factors.

Re: Brightview vs 'Ultra' Brightview
SO what are the implications considering the following:
1) I will be mostly using the laptop for programming on linux(emacs, gcc, etc), internet, and watching movies.
2) THe ultrabright comes with a lower resolution (1440x900).
3) It cost $50 more than the 'ordinary' brightview with 1680x1050 resolution.

Re: Brightview vs 'Ultra' Brightview
You'll want the extra pixels of the 1680x1050 res screen for programming. The diff between 1680x1050 and 1440x900 in displaying text is very noticible.

Re: Brightview vs 'Ultra' Brightview
The Ultra Brightview is a brighter screen than the Brightview. It is also supposed to have more even illumination. Both are good traits if you use photo editing programs, play games, etc.
Also, do not let people fool you; there is A LOT of real estate with the WXGA+ screen.
