Any suggestions?
Ideally, I would like the 15" with the 160GB hard drive butthat can only be ordered online and I can't buy that before the end of the year and have it delivered at a time where I will be home to get it as we have Xmas and beginning of January trips.
The 17" I can grab at any apple store, but I think it might be too unweildy.
Does anyone have any experience calling Apple with specific delivery instructions?

You don't have an issue here. once you order the computer and Apple has the right to payment and an obligation to send you the computer, you can take the deduction as either a cash basis or accrual based taxpayer.
As a computer user, I can tell you based on my experiences with Dell that the weight and maneuverability issues between a 15" and a 17" are not that great in absolute terms, but the relative difference is substantial.
