Should I downgrade my laptop processor for the extra money?

I just bought a new laptop but I found that I can save about £100 if I return it and buy the i5 version.

Currently, I have an HP 250 G5 laptop with i7-6500u processor, 8gb ram and 256gb ssd. However, the website I bought it from offers the exact same specs but instead with an i5-6200u processor for about £100 cheaper.

Do you think it would be worth downgrading based on the differences in the processors listed in the link below?:

Thanks in advance
