I got yelled at once when I didn't know what I was doing like 10 years ago by a guy at a computer shop for wanting to buy an old chipset mobo to save some money.
"Always buy the newest chipset!" he barked at me. So I did.

Now I always buy the latest chipset. Because I don't want nerdy store clerks to yell at me.
 
Its not about the money, its about the value. I cant see anything more than the bare minimum of improvements performance wise between Z87 and Z97. (Who knows, a year from now I might kick myself in the ***)

It really is pretty silly to buy z87 if buying today, but if it makes you happy, then go for it.
