Using a couple of other programs which are easily available for them (like Parralels), you can also run Windows on the same machine, so you may not need new versions of your existing software.
Go for the best one you can afford and make sure you get the 3 year extra care with it too.
If you can get one from the US, you will save money, but Apple won't let you order directly from the US, so you'll probably have to buy it here and get gouged.
If you are mainly using it at home with a monitor, I'd be more inclined to get a desktop rather than than a laptop though.
The iMacs have fantastic screens too.
