I'm a full time graphic designer and have owned about five macs total and have not only worked on them but done just about everything on them over the last 7 years and never got a virus.
Also, I've never had one crash on me or any hardware die, for the exception of a logic board on a powerbook, which I seriously beat the crap out of (awake until 4am finishing work while looking on the internet along with downloading torrents and printing pass projects).
All macs currently purchased come with a mighty mouse, which does have a right click. As far as the price difference goes I suppose you can compare it to a VS. Everything you just spent on money on is right in front of you, which isn't much but thats the point. Less things to go wrong. Simplicity is bliss.
