I think it really depends on what sort of things you intend doing with this machine. If it is a significant amount of cpu intensive stuff, then the extra speed and cache would most likley be useful. Or you could go with the advice I was given a while ago and that is always buy the highest spec machine you can afford, so if the £70 is not an issue then go for it!
