I thinks its more in relation to future upgrades because if Intel remove the lower end i7 chips, the only option would be to buy the high end (hugely expensive) chips.
Which means do you buy i7 now and hold on to it for years to come and upgrade the main components again or do you hold fire and see how the i5 pans out?
I'm coming round to the conclusion that if you upgrade your computer once every 2-3 years then i7 is the way to go as it'll be more than capable to do whatever you throw at it!
