Would 1333 MHz RAM work in MBP 2012?

Would 1333 MHz RAM work in the new 2012 MBP 15"? And if so would it make a big difference compared to 1600 MHz RAM?

I'm not pushing bleeding edge performance or play games but my apps do use a lot of RAM.
 
Are you saying that it works and that the difference in performance is negligible?

Where I live (in Sweden) there's a price difference (~40$ for 16 GB).

yes it will. the 3rd-gen intel core processors support both 1333/1600, but 1066 is excluded.

It seems big. Sweden looks to have higher price than France/Germany/Belgium. 😱
I was looking for 16 GB DDR3-1600 CL10 from Corsair (about 120 €). DDR3-1333 CL9 cost ~110 €. Did you have Amazon in Sweden ?

I only see a 28 dollar (200kr) difference when using prisjakt.nu. For that price difference, I'd go with the 1600s.
