U2715H worth the extra $$$?

Was wondering whether Dell's U2715H was worth the extra 60$ over the U2515H? I know it used to be something along the lines of 2x the price of the 2515. Recently checked amazon and saw its 409$ for the 2515 and 470$ for the 2715. Worth?

 

Edit: U2515H is 25" and 2715 is 27"

So whats the main difference? A few inches? It really depends on what you need it for. 24 inches is fairly large for what I have for a setup, and I couldn't even imagine a 27 inch monitor. Unless you are far away from it, save the money and get the smaller monitor.

 

Edit: These are 1440p monitors, scaling might be different at that large of a monitor. What are you using them for?

Planning on using them for everyday use. I've seen the 27" monitor already and it seems pretty good but would if I'm getting a 25" monitor, would it be a waste at 1440p? I have yet to see a 25" 1440p monitor in person so I'm not sure if there is a difference between 1920x1080 for 25" and 2560x1440. :(

The 25 inch will look slightly better but it is negligible in gaming. Maybe my eyes are not good enough. However, I would definitely recommend it. Either one you cant go wrong with though. 27 inch is nice for a bit more immersion also.
