For your purpose - Coding, editing(rendering) videos and gaming, the Acer is the better one of the two.

The Acer has a i7 processor which is a quad core with 8 threads, where the Dell has a i7 which is a dual core with 4 threads. Also sports an IPS 15.6" Full HD, with better color reproduction.

Comparison of i7 4720HQ Vs i7 5500U:

Also the Acer sports a decent GTX 860M GPU that can play all modern games with medium/high graphical fidelity.

GTA V - high 1920x1080 - 36.4 fps
Battlefield Hardline - high 1920x1080 - 44.5 fps
Dragon Age: Inquisition - high 1920x1080 28 fps
Call of Duty: Advance Warfare - high 1920x1080~ 39 fps

Update:

Yes its worth paying that extra $200.

Cheers!
