Sager NP8290 or Sager NP8270-S? Which is better? And any way to get same specs cheaper?

[Mason Smart]

Which one is better? are there differences in cooling or etc. between the two (Gtx 780m for both). And any way to get the same specs (preferably the np8290) for less money than what i have it listed at?

Same system, it's just that the NP8270 has a slightly different design (no illuminated trackpad, for example). Some people didn't like the new design found on the NP8290, so Sager offers both.
