Intake temps with N54

Does it matter that much what the intake air temp is in a turbo car? I was thinking that whatever the temp delta between different intakes (BMS, UR, Logic,...) and the stock air box is it is small compared to the increase in air temp that comes from compression. So does it make more sense to take the moeny one might spend on an intake and use it on a better intercooler? Anyone?

+1 good question, I know intake temps matter LESS in turbo cars than in a NA one. Intake prices are much lower than a new intercooler plus install, but I wonder if its money better spent.
