For the price difference, pick up the Swiftech APEX watercooling kit... now see which clocks better...

Only benefit you'd likely to get from the E6700 would be if you were under phase and aiming for 4.3GHz+. Unfortunately as things stand with the current crop of motherboards it might be a while before we have ones that guarantee over 400FSB+.

I've got a E6700 ES and unless I get a pretty stonking overclock out of it I'll be selling it and buying an E6600 retail!
 
I also had to make this decision.
I hadn't done a major upgrade for a while so I was going to "splash the cash" so to speak and get the 6700.
However there is approx. a £150 difference in price and that £150 covers your motherboard and gives you a little bit towards any new RAM you may also need.

Also with just how clockable these CPU's are (I run my E6600 at 3Ghz - and this is a rather pathetic overclock compared to many) I'm in effect running my £250 CPU as a £720 X6800.
