Looking to buy a new laptop, help deciding between 970m and 980m

I’ve got a Asus ROG with a 970m…

Runs UE great - plays games great.

Battery life really really sucks… seems like less than an hour or two if you are using graphics heavily.

DK2 works - but is much slower than desktop GTX980. (Makes me dizzy, but I seem sensitive to rift framerates ).
If you are planning to do VR, I would recommend getting a full blown gtx 980 laptop - these are now out.

MSI GT80 (18,4″, SLI) what a devil beast in a box… not bad!
