I am impressed and dismayed by your experience. My 2 year old MBP (pre-unibody) gets only 45-60 minutes of battery time. Did the unibody MBP's see that much of a boost in battery performance?

based on your figures, hell yes. I know three people with the unibody 15" MBP, and all get 6+ hours life

Yes. Apple completely changed battery designs between the removable and the non-removable versions. The latter will last significantly longer.

I think they switched from a Lithium Ion battery to a Lithium Polymer battery. The latter performs much better and lasts a lot longer. Most new cell phones, and incidentally, RC Helicopters use this too.
