This link may be useful for explaining i5 vs i7 etc. http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/best-intel-processor-core-i3-i5-i7
i7 only really worth it if you are using software which specifically takes advantage of multiple cores.
As said already, add extra RAM yourself to save money too.

So I called into the Appke store on the way to dinner last night and looking at the iMacs has maybe tempted me away from buying a mbp.
If I went for the mid range 27" one would my money be better spent upgrading to the i7 or on more memory?
Guess the memory can be done later (and probably cheaper) but the processor has to be chosen at purchase?
