Which would you rather have? MP2600+ or MP2800+

I just sent back my 2600+ MP's for an upgrade to my system and the day I receieve them the MP 2800+ comes out. I really hated to send them back losing $63 and out $55.00 to overnight them back. I hope that the MP 2800+ is the last processor for the 760MP(X) chipset. I called up tyan and asked them what I should do. The Tech told me it all depends on what you want to do with your system and if money was not an issue. I told him that I am doing audio and video editing and he said the extra cache in the MP 2800+'s will do a better rendering job.

What processor would you rather pick and why?

If you're doing lots of video and audio editing, the additional cache sure will come in handy. However, for gaming 'n' stuff, you'll hardly see a difference.
