If you don't do any Mac development, don't use any "rare" apps that have no Linux counterparts, and don't mind some nagging compatibility issues (admittedly, driver support gets better every day and Ubuntu is really on top of this stuff) I highly recommend giving it a try before diving into a much more costly solution.
Worst case scenario, you still aren't a huge fan of the Linux desktop and you can give Mac a shot. The Linux desktop has come a LONG way in the past 3 years, though. Just use KDE ;)
Don't get me wrong; I'm a huge Mac fan, just not a traditional fanboy. There are viable alternatives.
