9850x3d worth the extra?

Build Help

Have an order for a PC build which hasn't shipped yet as it's pending a GPU restock.

Initial order includes a 9800x3d for £380, however, since I placed my order the 9800x3d has dropped by another £25 & the 9850x3d has dropped to £380.

So is the extra performance worth switching to the 9850x3d? Or is it worth just saving the £25 and sticking with the 9800x3d?
