i5 and 'new' i7 discussion

I rather like what I've seen (read) so far. And looking around at prices it's nice to see that you can build a high performing system for less. I do NOT like the stupid naming scheme of the new i7's tho. I get why they did it, since the performance is in line with the 'old' i7, but it's just going to get confusing. Seriously, would it have hurt to use i6?

I am however toying with the idea of splashing out on an i5 750. I paid little more for my E6420 and at the time it was on special. I'm going to wait a little while tho as I need to wait for watercooling blocks/mounts to catch up. But I certainly see an i5 on my shopping list sometime soon.
