What is the performace difference between PB and mini(1.42,80G)?

Ii found the only 2 MAIN diff are:HD(PB has 5400, mac mini has 4200), And video card(PB fx5200 64 MB(12 inch),mac mini ATI9200 32mb).
And I ignore all the ports feature.And stuff like BT,backlit^^^^^^.And ignore the max ram capacity and bulid in ram.
And i do not care about portability.
In my case, does PB worth the money,Or i should go for mac mini.
cheers
There were once four people named Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody. Somebody had to do a job, but Nobody wanted to do it. Nobody could see that Anybody could do it, and Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Nobody ended up doing it, and it so happened that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

If you don't care about portability how is this even a question? Go with the mini, or even better, an iMac (seeing that you were willing to put up powerbook money). The powerbooks are nice, but why pay the premium if you don't need the portability?
