Yeah I'm in much the same position.  My current system's starting to
get a bit rickety (it's pre-unibody so there are various rattles and
bits that don't quite fit together any more) so I'm tempted to upgrade
because of that but it still provides enough performance for what I'm
doing with it.  No games and writing my own music software mean that
I'm pretty much out of the CPU race.

The thing that's bugging me is that I do 95% of my computing sat at my
desk so I'm paying a laptop premium just to be able to do gigs.  I'm
working on a way of getting my gig computing off the laptop on to
something smaller and cheaper but I don't know whether that's going to
work out yet.
