Should I return the laptop and get one with 2.7/2.9GHz CPU? (Which is another 2 months of waiting)

Hehe now you found the right path. If you've got the money (as in you don't have issues at the end of the month), just go for 2.9/512/460 and you'll be good, considering it's a non-user upgradable machine. I wanted to gift myself with 1 TB, but again I could have survived with 512 GB (which is what I already had in my 2011 MBP with an SSD and 16 GB RAM).

Note to the guy saying there have been no improvements in CPUs for the past 5 years: it's not true. My 2.9 Ghz (Skylake) is wat faster than my 2.2 GHz quad-core 2720QM i7 Sandy Bridge with 6 MB L3 cache.
