    9500 is better but you'd have to be a complete mug to pay those prices for it. 8300 will have better battery life and underclocks to a lower clock via speedstep iirc.

    If you are not paying, go for the 9500.

    It gets battery battery life than the 8300, Doesn't it?

    Then definitely do it. There's a nice performance difference and at most 12ish minutes battery difference.
