Don't know if the OP saw SiliconLottery's post yesterday, but they noticed a 100Mhz+ difference between the 3700X and 3800X on all-core clocks.
Whether that's worth $70 to you is a personal decision.

There is absolutely a difference in silicon quality between the 3700X and 3800X, to get that out of the way. On average, the 3800X will hit about 100MHz or more higher all core. I know a lot of people have been wanting some kind of confirmation on this. We won't have statistics up right at launch as our sample size is still a bit small (a bit of trouble getting these CPUs right now), but they should be posted within a couple weeks.
