It's $190 vs $210 (including tax) for the difference between DDR4-2400 and DDR4-2800. 

 

I'll be using an i7-8700K with this.

 

Worth it?

I would buy the 2800 Mhz memory.

2800 is where normal program benefits hit highly diminishing returns.

If you read my location I'm paying Canadian lol, CBSA is insanely strict on duties at least on the west coast so I'm not buying American.
