Okay. I've decided that I'm gonna order one of these mac minis.

However, I'm wondering if buying the $999 is worth it over the $799 one.

For $799 you get 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
For $999 you get 2.0 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7

That, of course, is gibberish to me. From my internet readings, unless you are using programs that use multiple threading, it's not worth the $200. So the only real benefit is that the $999 one has 2 500GB hard drives and I already have plenty of external USB and firewire storage.

Is there something else that I am overlooking that would make the $999 worth the extra money?
