[Benchmark Request] Lenovo T430s i5 w/NVidia vs. T430s i7 w/Intel graphics

It really is a tough choice to make when ordering a new Lenovo T430s laptop. I wish I could have an i7 with Dedicated Graphics. 🙁

Choices:

1) T430s i5 with NVidia Graphics (No Thunderbolt)

or...

2) T430s i7 with Intel Graphics (Bonus Thunderbolt port)

I would like to see some benchmark comparison of these two hard choices.
This would be great for a main feature article on Anandtech !!!

Good luck getting that one to show up here.

Planned uses of the laptop? Need for dedicated graphics or Thunderbolt? If Thunderbolt isn't necessary, I'd just get a regular T430.

The full T430 has an NVS5400M and the T430s an NVS5200M. Seems like the NVS5200M isn't much of an upgrade from the base Intel 4000. Not much difference between i5/i7 for mobile, you get an extra 1M L3 cache in the i7 and 100-200mhz clock speed increase, so take that into consideration.
