Cpu speed isnt really as important as drive speed in everyday use. Now if your using the macbook pro for pro apps everyday such as pro tools finalcut studio or photoshop or something them cpu speed would be a better choice
You'll notice the speed increase from the SSD way more than you will from the CPU.
Alternatively, get the CPU upgrade and wait a few months to purchase the SSD when prices are cheaper? We all like the best of both worlds lol 😛
That is my plan at any rate, going to wait till around end of summer to get a SSD once I see how the prices are. Aiming for 256GB or 512GB personally. Then wait till a year or two down the line and extend to 8GB ram when I feel I'll actually need it.
