Does anyone know if the Mac Book Pro's released since Apple's official 'whine acknowledgment' will be pretty much guaranteed to be whine free if I buy now?

I had a MBP but I got a refund 4 weeks ago because they couldn't fix the whine (this was before the announcement). I need a new one by mid-September at the latest so I can wait for a few more weeks (until a MBP Merom release hopefully!), but I really want the machine to be 'whine free'!

I had the new logic board put in about 10 days ago and I still have the whine. It's better, but it still is obnoxious. It now only occurs when the power cable is plugged in - when it's running on the battery it's silent. I just use QuietMBP when it's plugged in to shut the stupid thing up.
