I’d like to upgrade my Mid 2010 Core i7 MBP to Lion, but I’m very concerned about comments regarding black screens, the inability to wake from sleep, external monitor issues & kernel panics possibly caused by Nvidia drivers? I use the MBP on the desk attached to an Apple Cinema display. Is Apple going to address some of the current issues or are we stuck with a non-upgradeable machine? Please help!

I don't have a response for you there. I haven't had any problems with Lion on any of the Macs I've installed it on, including a MBP 2010 (13-inch, though).
I haven't heard much of those problems you have mentioned. I'm sure they are on a small minority of systems. And I also know that Apple has already come out with a version 10.7.1 of Lion, so they are addressing bugs.
Why not just do a good backup (of course) and upgrade to see. Then, you could always have the fall-back of re-installing Snow Leopard if things go wrong. That will take some time, but you probably won't need to do it.
I took your advice and installed Lion. Works great, lot's of cool new features...... Thank!
