Change of Processor

I currently have a Dual core in my laptop and am considering switching to a Quad and was looking for an opinion.

I Know there's no real argument for which is better a quad or dual but most games I play recommend using a Quad. Not really been much of a problem so far. My budget only allows me to go for the lower priced Quad core so heres what I have at the moment -

Intel® Core™i5 Dual Core Mobile Processor i5-4200M (2.50GHz) 3MB

Im considering switching it for the following -

Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Mobile Processor i7-4700MQ (2.40GHz) 6MB

The question is does it seem worth it? Am I going to notice less performance or around the same?

I don't think it would provide a noticeable improvement and I bet it is a bit pricey to upgrade the CPU.

Its around £180 to upgrade to that one... if you can even call it an upgrade. the next Quad on the list is around £280 :/ !
