I was disappointed about BD when the reviews officially came out on launch day but I still decided to get a new AMD combo so I could try something different from the Intel's offerings that I've been running over the past few years.
I'm also looking forward to Piledriver... might even take a shot at an 8170 in the hopes of possibly getting a better clocking sample...
I would go ahead and try it out. You might find that when overclocked you can make up for the 1100T's ipc advantage. I don't have much trouble running mine at 4.5/4.6GHz "daily" on air. Although some samples can be hot running... I see you are on water already.
If you don't like your 8150 you can always sell it off and go back to your 1100T ... at least you will then know first hand and your curiosity about BD will have been answered.
