"Why they opted for 80GB drive over the 160GB drive, when the price difference on the two is negligible is beyond me."
My guess would be that they used the 80 GB drive because it's the highest capacity single platter 1.8" drive on the market. The 160 GB model is a double platter drive which I doubt would fit in the cramped MacBook Air enclosure.
