DualCore2 7xxx vs 8xxx question

Which would you guys go for, if they are available for the same price? I'm
thinking I'd go for the T8300 of course, but I'm wondering if anyone thinks
it having 1MB less of L2 cache matters.
Core 2 Duo T7500 (2.20GHz, 4M L2 Cache, 800MHz)
Core 2 Duo T8300 (2.40GHz, 3M L2 Cache, 800Mhz)

Since the machines are laptops, then the power reduction on the T8300 seems
good as well when traveling.
The environment these machines will be in is mostly day to day officework
with Office 2003, IE7, document managment software, etc.
Any wisdom you guys can offer?
Other hardware details:
- using centrino's graphics
- 2gb ram
thanks

Yeah I know what parts influence specific tasks, my job covers all that...
but since the price of these two items is the same via my work's vendor, I
wanted opinions for which I should go for, as I have no direct experience
with these two CPUs...
