If you're hauling a lot of luggage around for the shoot, a few pounds more or less for the computer won't make a difference.

I really like Alienware for top performance machines. Parts are tested and work very fine together to get maximum speed. It does come at a price of course, but I would say it's worth it if you're doing video editing or handling lots of photos, which you obviously are. If not totally necessary on the road, I would however question the blue ray upgrade. It will likely sit unused for the majority of the time and just drain the battery. So depending on where you do most of your photo shoots, indoors where you have power readily available or outdoors where the computer's own battery have to last a bit?

All in all I'd say it's a very good choice, I really like Alienware and have only good experiences from them.
