graphics wise m14x better. gt 555m little better 6750/6770m in mbp. standard m14x lot worse cpu wise.
m14x nice alternative need higher resolution screen.
if decision made in performance in games alienware better.
if want portable machine bigger screen , amazing battery life can play games mentioned without problems (a couple fps less m14x) mbp way go. more couple hundred more though if compare both stock hardware.
take mbp. being able have both osx , win7 pretty handy think. , combination of osx , quite gaming performance when feel great.
