I just received my optimus III and I see they have released the optimus IV :(

I wouldn't be. Optimus III and happy here. In the pictures, the IV looks fatter than the III, and also the only real difference is the extra GDDR5, and an extra numpad row.
The 660M is just a slightly higher clocked 650M, they are the exact same GPU die.
True, the onkyo speakers would be good though, as the speakers on the optimus III are pretty bad. I'm also having an issue with a rather unresponsive A key.
You should talk to PCS about the A key, I don't have that problem at all. But I agree the speakers are pretty awful, however even thought the IV has 'Onkyo' speakers, I find that to be more of a branding than hardware thing, some people with the onkyo speakers in other models have said they anr't much better.
Yeah, I spoke to PCS about the a key and they sent out a replacement keyboard ASAP which I have now fitted and everything is golden. Although I freaked out for abit, and thought I had broken the motherboard connector for the keyboard, but I obviously didn't because it's working now.

Pretty much, at one point you just gotta commit and buy something. If you wait for the next new thing to come out you will never buy anything.
The life of a PC user sucks eh
That's slightly heartbreaking, but I wouldn't be too gutted with a 680m
