At this point, though, since I'm on the road more often than I'm at my desk I don't think it would work. I really need Mac OS X as my primary OS and I don't want the hassle of syncing multiple devices. Interesting idea.

I've always kept multiple (3) Vaio's on the go and ready to sync in case one breaks (that has happened a number of times, mainly physical damage). Because of the toxicity of Vista my concern was that if a main machine breaks again, then I could not do as before and walk into a Sony shop and buy a replacement because Sony only offer Vista now (in the meantime I'd use one of the other 1-2 less powerful machines). Yes I could walk in and buy a new one in event of failure but why pay for Vista? And why roll back to a 7 year old OS? So I decided to head for OS X as the Windows path seems shut off due to Vista. I held off for ages as the MBP factor sucks big time compared to Vaios (once you've lived with titanium 13" Vaios, you realise in terms of form you don't get better). But after giving up on Mac updating the chassis it was more important to begin the move to OS X. So I bought a MBP. I tend to find I lug around the MBP less. If I know I only need Office style apps and a browser I still take the 13" Vaio. So maybe it's a good idea if your just going to be doing web and office on the road just pickup a second hand or new 13" Vaio - get a SZ1 (XP) off eBay for example.
