Help me decide: E5470 or E7450?

Hi folks.

I'd very much appreciate some help deciding between these 2 laptops. I don't know if I've posted in the correct place, but seeing as I'm only looking at these 2 Dells, and I'd really like to hear from people who have first hand experience, I thought I'd post here. So here goes ...

The Contenders

E5470: i5-6440Q, integrated graphics, 1080p non-touch, 8GB DDR4, 500GB HDD
E7450: i7-5600U, NVIDIA 840M, 1080p non-touch, 16GB DDR3, 512 SSD

I have a new Samsung EVO 850 256GB SSD to swap into the E5470, and when I factor this in they come out at essentially the same price.

What will it be used for?

Other than general purpose use, some of the tasks the laptop will be used for are:

- Office work: word processing, some spreadsheets
- Some C++ development
- Photo management, some editing
- No gaming

Other factors to consider

- Robust
- Good screen & keyboard
- Some portability, but not the most important factor
- Hoping for a long lifespan

So ignoring price completely, which one of these 2 contenders do you think would work best for me?

Thanks in advance for the help,
Al
