Any serious gaming is going to drain the battery life pretty quick anyway regardless of which model you go for, and development generally involves a lot of HDD work (writing compiled binaries, writing/reading source files etc) which will drain the same amount of battery on either machine, unless they have different hard drives models too.
In terms of performance, I suspect the two 2.54 machines will equal each other in performance.
The lower power consumption of the P series is probably due to using a smaller process (ie 45nm) for the chips used in that series, or only taking the very best of those produced for the P series and branding the rest as the T series.

Have you looked at package deals? In the case of a laptop you might get more for your buck if you buy that way. I bought a Acer about 8 months ago and love it. I get about 4 hours a battery life on full bore. Cost me $1400 (US).

Your battery will drain in less than half an hour if you start gaming.
CPU really ian't that important nowadays, unless you plan on using your laptop for video converting or hosting servers and stuff like that.

I'd get the cheapest one. You probably wouldn't notice a performance difference (except for some rare (?) cases), but you see the price difference immediately.
And as was already said, you'll need to have the cord plugged in if you game anyway.
