After months of pondering, I've made a decision! (Almost..)

i made decision on mac. found out 512mb graphics card fine do. decided on upgraded 21.5" imac (the $1499 config.). genius said need 8gb ram, , said same thing say, buy crucial. 8gb ram $45 via crucial, or $200 via apple. i'm looking @ 2.7ghz quad-core i5, 4gb ram (upgraded 8gb), 1tb hdd, , radeon hd 6770m card 512mb vram. question is, should pay $180 2.8ghz quad-core i7? part of me says yes because i7 has hyperthreading, part of me says no because i'd wait week or two. if 2.7 chip, can saturday. want off windows machine failing hdd. it's playing russian roulette. so, do? 2.7 i5, or 2.8 i7? btw, wait until new generation, i've been waiting 2 months. waiting killing me.
