'A' rated tumble dryer - Should I buy it ?

Hi,
I am thinking of buying a new tumble dryer and my wife fancies the AEG T59800 which claims to have an A energy rating for a normal cycle time. It also comes with a 5 year manufacturer guarantee. The problem is it costs about £500. I use the tumble dryer on average about 2 hours a day, maybe more. Would it pay me to go for this more expensive model rather than a cheaper one at about £200 ? This is a condenser which I don't actually need as it will be in the garage and can be a vented model. I know there are other A or B rated models about, but they work on low temperature and take a long time to run. AEG say on their website: "Introducing the World's only tumble dryer with an 'A' rating for a standard cycle time." Any comments ? Does anyone know how much I would save approx on each normal cycle ?
Thanks in advance.
