Is there a difference in these chip-wise besides the 100 Mhz?
Thanks!
Edit - what I mean to ask is, is there some performance difference besides what you would get with the extra 100Mhz?

L2 Cache, 3MB vs 6MB... not a big deal for most applications. Anandtech investigated the difference between 2MB and 4MB with the previous generation and came up with a difference of 0-10% depending on the application, averaging 3.5%.

It seems that the 2.5GHz has the 6MB L2 as well as the 2.6GHz. So the only reason remaining that I can see is that 2.6 sounds nicer than 2.5  .

The 2.5 and 2.6 GHz Penryns have the exact same amount of L2 cache: 6 MB.
Apart form the clock, they are identical.
T9500 - 2.6 / 6MB / 800 MHz - TDP 35 W - $530
T9300 - 2.5 / 6MB / 800 MHz - TDP 35 W - $316
The low-end 15" MBP and the MB at 2.4 GHz has less L2 cache.
T8300 - 2.4 / 3MB / 800 MHz - TDP 35 W - $241
T8100 - 2.1 / 3MB / 800 MHz - TDP 29 W - $209
