The faster dual core is probably better for most people, plus the better graphics as I already mentioned.
If you are doing lots of video encoding/transcoding, though, those 4 cores are gonna smoke the dual core system.
Edit: Personally, I'd stick to the i5 and put the $100 towards the 3 year Applecare warranty, but either way, the basic advice to get the faster dual core machine and load up on RAM afterwards is sound advice.
