You're paying quite a bit for vPro.
I'd guess that the 2 extra cores don't really make much of a difference day-to-day. If you crank up all the cores, both chips will throttle in a laptop of that size. If you are only running a couple single-threaded applications, the extra 100MHz turbo hardly makes a difference (around 2-3%).
On the flip side, the places that need/want vPro are going to be very enterprisey and don't mind spending the extra money.
