Macbook Pro Retina 13 Mid 2014 which processor to choose?

Hello, I'm about to buy a new laptop. I settled on a macbook pro 13 retina, help me choose a CPU:
Intel Core i5 2.8 GHz (Turbo Boost up to 3.3 GHz);
Intel Core i7 3.0 GHz (Turbo Boost up to 3.5 GHz) - Plus 8 234.04 pyb.
How noticeable will be the difference when choosing i5? The laptop is taken for web development (python, js, html / css) and development for Ios.

It is better to choose a memory! I have a core2duo 2.6GHz 8GB on my MacBook (it's an old one - the end of 2009), at home on an iMac - i5 2.8GHz - 16GB, at home on my wife's air also i5 2.1GHz (it seems) - 4GB. I am developing just for python-web (twisted + cyclone) and java (j2ee). I write under eclipse. To be honest, I don’t notice a big (directly colossal) difference between the processors either on a macbook, or an imac, or an air. But the addition of memory is felt very strongly! Especially when both the database, and a bunch of streams and parallels work and a browser with a bunch of tabs and podcasts / music in the background ...
Comfort starts from 8 gig of frame, super - at 16 gig, and more.

i5 + 8 GB of RAM is enough for these tasks.
i7 is worth taking only if you don't mind the money.
IMHO it is worth investing this "extra" money in a monitor or Time Capsule.

By 34.5 percent.

if there is money - instead of the processor, I would either increase the memory (ram or ssd), or look at the 15 "retina - if the laptop as the main device will be - 15 is much more fun

For these purposes, the resources of any modern phone are quite enough. And your question looks something like this: "is it worth it for me to overpay 8 234.04 pyb. for a 2% increase in performance that I will not use"
Add the same amount and buy better than 15", if you need mobility, then it is better to take air, but in terms of comfort 15" works much better than 13".
