Do you think the I7 worth it for those who have both. I know no one has an I7 Surface Pro 3 yet. I have an I7 desktop and an I5 laptop and am okay with either. Just wondering.

I am not near any stores so I cannot see one in person. Won't be within 1000 miles of one till October probably, so must order online.

Any insight advice appreciated.

I think the sweetspot is the i5/256 GB version. Considering how Microsoft throttles the CPU the i7 will likely be overkill unless a future firmware update reduces throttling. If I didn't recently buy a Surface Pro 2 I would have bought the i5/256.
