    If you can afford it, wouldn't it be better to get whatever is the most powerful, regardless if you "need" it right now? Just because you don't need multi-threading or whatever right now, doesn't mean you won't need it 2 or 3 years from now.

    Depends on what applications you use. Gaming has barely touched more then 2 cores atm and I doubt it will make use of hyper-threading anytime soon.
