AMD Phenom II X2 550 vs 545

So I have noticed that on newegg the 545 can be had for $20 less, is the 550 truly that much more superior over the 550 in terms of performance?

If you would overclock, go with the 550. If not, then the 545 is good enough.

Get the new 1403 BIOS if you have an ASUS MB and unlock either.
