faster is better, even if i don't need it. Need to build a new system next year anyway, maybe this won't cost 2 arms and a leg.

In my opinion, the best feeling when buuilding a rig comes from building (and paying) a system where eveyrthing is balanced and everything compliments the other components perfectly. Sure people can go out and get 1300W power supplys, 4 way SLi mobos and DDR4 RAM, but I would feel like a tool if I bought those components without an intention to utilize half of the features. Doesn't matter if its a little HTPC or an ubber high eng gaming rig, there is a perfect configuration for every purpose.

Knowing how little of a performance benefit IB-E is going to offer over current Sandy Bridge E CPUs, and the fact LGA 2011 supports tri channel memory, I really don't see any point for using CPU RAM faster than DDR3 2400 Mhz. With that said, maybe DDR4 will use a little less power, have more aggressive timings at same voltage/speed or be cheaper once it's mass produced. So it may be an improvement afterall...

It will be an improvement. The source(s) hint at it. Besides, I never see anything wrong with grabbing more power than you need, as if it makes one happy, go with it. It will be there when you need it, and trust me, if you push your systems like I push mine, you can never have too much.

With what do you push your system so much? It's with your developer work including grafix rendering, right? Not ordinary gaming.
